    My wants were fairly simple, and I appreciate your write up.

    With regards to Bella Barista, unfortunately nothing they stock is within my budget and as such have looked else where.

    Right now I'm heavily leaning towards the Lelit but haven't yet discounted the Sage due to its extra features. Price wise they are about the same, I suppose it's just longevity and resell value I need to consider, as I don't envision keeping either machine for 5+ years.
    A useful extra feature of the Breville DB is the easily adjustable pre-infusion. Just saying.

      If price wise they are about the same and neither will be kept more than 5 years. I'd personally get the Lelit. In Oz the Lelit costs $800 more than the BES920.

      I'd agree the long heat up time on e61 is a deal breaker for many people, and timer is really not a good solution. it might work well for some people and not for many others. and not to mention the complexity of the E61 (seals, springs, valves etc.)

        So, I've actually settled for the BES920 for a few of reasons:
        1. Any fixes and warranty work needs to go back to base far from me (I can probably find someone in London that can service it, but haven't had any luck so far)
        2. The BES920 is better marketed here so resale is likely easier
        3. The BES920 seems fairly user friendly so would be useful for the occasional staying guests to use (and the wife!)
        4. I like the design of the heating elements and the super quick start up. The ease of playing around with some settings to change a coffee's profile... not sure how much I'd use this but something I wouldn't mind looking into occasionally.

        Thanks again all for your advise. Really appreciated all the inputs.

              I have been there and don't think it's a good idea. Just think about durability, expensive repairs, cheap materials and resale.
              Best of luck though if you choose that one.
              Hi coffe4me2, really appreciate the sentiment. I've decided to go down the route anyway as the Lelit is practically unknown in the UK, and the Breville is well received here. There's a 2 year warranty and it's with John Lewis who is very good with repairs/replacements so we should be good.
