Gday I'd love some advice regarding a new machine.
I am looking to upgrade my current coffee machine (Sunbeam Em3600 and Em0480 Grinder). It has got to the point where my current setup is frustrating me. The group head leaks when I grind too fine (recently replaced) but it pours far too quickly otherwise. I also can't get the coffee to taste as good as my fav coffee shop. Besides I have the upgrade itch
My local roaster has a Lelit PL042TEMD on sale for $959 down from $1169. I was set on getting one of these and then they mentioned that their wholesaler had a demo model (reconditioned with warranty) WEGA MININOVA EPU MINIR for $1600 ex GST. I've seen the Wega new on Ebay for $2000 or in stores for RRP $2600.
I usually make coffees for me and my wife once a day and twice on weekends. I probably have to make coffees for friends once a month.
Part of me thinks the Wega is overkill especially if I have to stump for a grinder upgrade too. But if it is a screamer of a deal I will be tempted.
I really am a coffee newbie so let me know if these two models aren't even comparable.
Cheers
