Evening all
I guess the title says it all! I currently use an Aeropress and handheld grinder for my morning cup at work. I'm interested in purchasing an espresso setup for home. I'm looking at spending approx $1k-1.5k and I am happy purchasing second hand equipment.
I've been looking at the Rancilio Silvia and the Lelit PL41. I've heard that they pull a decent shot, but may not be great at steaming milk without some practice/process. I guess this is down to the single boiler needing to reach and maintain certain temperatures for both tasks. Are there any other machines I should be looking at or any other limitations that I should be aware of at this price range?
Thanks in advance.
