Hi everyone, I've had a Rancilio Silvia for about 8-10 years or so and it's amazing for what I need, I love it.
I have a mate who has a $200 Breville from Kmart and he wants to upgrade to something better but sub $900 if possible. He has a semi decent grinder already.
I've been out of the looking at / buying a machine game for a long time because my Silvia works perfectly for me - so I have no idea what to recommend to him or whats available at the moment. When I bought the Silvia it was considered the best entry level home machine for around $1000. They currently retail at around $1100 - he would possibly increase his budget if I convinced him it was definitely the best way to go.
Can anyone send me some suggestions of machines around the $800-900 mark OR if I should just convince him to get the Silvia, and some beanbay suppliers who I should send him the link to support.
Thanks!
Anthony
