Following this - I'm also a noob looking at my first home espresso machine. Based on my research (and to avoid premature upgrade-itis) thinking a HX with E61 group seems a sensible investment. For me, retro italian good looks are essential.

I’ve had a combi with PID for a few months now and am really happy with it. The only other machine I’ve had a play on is a Rancilio Silvia. Very similar coffee making experience. I prefer pulling a shot with the combi but found the Silvia to have a bit more steam power.

Thanks Ronin - how old is your PL60? Do you have any photos?

While the combi is an ok machine it’s not really an upgrade from the classic other than the included grinder.
have you considered a second hand machine & grinder combo?
I have a used lelit pl60 dual boiler machine in good condition and a Mazzer mini manual in excellent I am getting ready to sell.

Midrange Machine Recommendations
Hi All,
I am looking to upgrade from a Gaggia Classic with a budget up to $1,500.
So far the Lelit Combi PID Anita (PL42TEMD) has caught my eye. Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with the Lelit Combi ? There seems to be less options between $1-2k with budget machines around $1k and a lot of machines $2.5k up.
I'm also looking for recommendations on a budget dosing scale.
Thanks in advance
