Over the past 2 years I have been using the following espresso machine and grinder, having been able to borrow them over that period from relatives whilst they were overseas:
- Vibiemme Domobar Junior
- Eureka Mignon-E red grinder
As my relatives just returned from overseas and I returned their machines, I had to fallback now (temporarily) on a Nespresso machine, sufficient to say I need to find a new machine fast!
As I am used to the Domobar coffees now, I want a machine that produces the same quality espressos, long blacks, flat whites and lates, but I am not too aquianted with the market.
Having done some research, I identified the following (but frankly open to any suggestions!):
- Vibiemme Domobar Junior (ie just buying the same unit as the one I've been using)
- Vibiemme Picollo (the smaller model - I don't mind getting my water for my long black from a kettle instead from the machine itself)
- Lelit combo (seems to get very good reviews, and I don't mind the combined grinder combo)
- Isomac Zaffiro Due
Based on my research to date and given I never purchased a $$ coffee machine before, I am leaning towards the Lelit combo, but unsure whether I will be disappointed given I've been using the Domobar Junior for so long... Any recommendations would be appreciated!
