Hi there,
I’m currently in the market to buy a first time machine and after some light research I have found myself with a question and unable to find the answer. Hence my post here
.
My budget is around the $1000 mark, I would like a heat exchanger or a double boiler machine as both myself and my fiancee like milk in our coffee.
These requirements have guided me towards the Nuova Simonelli Oscar, I’m aware it’s not the prettiest machine on the market but it’s feature set for its price is pretty appealing.
My only concern is that it is not a e61 grouphead, which seems to be pretty important when looking at more ‘prosumer’ machines.
Should I be prioritising an e61 grouphead and just get a single boiler to keep in budget or would the 58mm ‘commercial’ grouphead on the Oscar be fine?
And if anyone has any other suggestions that meet my criteria and budget please don’t hesitate to offer!
Thanks for your time!

But now you can call it the Lelit Diana. Not sure if that's better ...?
