At the time I hadn't seen them anywhere else in the world, definitely not Australia so thought it would make a unique souvenir. Was ridiculously expensive (AU$50) for essentially a glorified moka pot but given it got used almost daily when my BES920 died, it was worth it.

You could look at E61 machines, but this will add $$ to your budget and you don't need an E61 to make great espresso easily. If it's only a few espressos on the weekend, then a PID controlled single boiler will easily fit the bill. eg Lelit PL41TEMD? Or some second hand/ex demo options.

Yeah I've been researching the Lelit PL41TEMP and it seemed to fit the bill and I've also been looking at your used section also. I'm now also looking at a used Isomac Zaffiro but tbh I'm not sure how much better any of these will be compared to say the Cafelat Robot.
If the Robot can come close-ish and have essentially zero maintenance issues then that is a very attractive option. However it's ~$600 and I can get a new/used for $1000 but then I have all the ongoing maintenance issues that go with it. Decisions........
