Hi guys,
Been watching the forums for a while trying to decide whether to upgrade or not and what to upgrade to. I have the saeco via venezia (the older version with the copper boiler) and sunbeam 0480 grinder and have really enjoyed using them. I have the process down so I can make a coffee thats okay most of the time. My wife likes my coffee very much but then Im not sure shes too discerning. The thing is though after owning this machine for nearly a decade I know its shortcomings and when I have a really good cup of coffee elsewhere (like I had today - man it was amazing) it makes me want to take my machine up a notch. Sooo, with a budget between $1k-$1.5K the Breville BES900 seems like it would be a good buy. Its a huge investment for me but am now almost ready to push the button. So instead of making up my own mind, I throw it open to the good coffee snobs who inhabit this site - is it worth spending that much money to upgrade (particularly cos my wife seems to be happy with what she gets at the mo) and do you reckon the bes900 is the way to go.
Thanks for any advice (wish I could just use my own brain to make up my mind!!)
