My Sunbeam EM6910 died today!
Out of warranty, water in the electronics. I dont want to wait 5 weeks for a repair while living on plunger coffee, and anyway I have just been struck by upgradeitis. No, it really was an accident, but perhaps fortuitous.
I roast my own, and have a perfectly wonderful Compak K3 Touch grinder. I mostly drink short blacks, and my wife drinks lattes. Usually just the two of us, only sometimes larger groupings of 4-6 drinkers.
After a day reading coffeesnobs, my feeling is that the Lelit and the Gee stand out in the < $1000 bracket, both seem to look better than my old EM6910.
Didnt find any recent threads covering the next price bracket up. Are there any machines $1K to $1.5K that stand out? Basically, are there any machines in that bracket that are a step up from the sub $1000 market, and thus worth the extra money?
