Hey all, been lurking around the forums for awhile but havent made many posts. so go easy on me...
im looking for some advice on what machine would best suit the needs of a housemate of mine. i'm moving out of the house in a couple months and since then we've been enjoying the coffee coming out of an expobar minore IV. price he's willing to put out is something along the lines of $1-2.5k. he never drinks his coffee with milk so i figured i ask about one that can give the temperature stability of the expobar without the unnecessary steaming ability. i know it could potentially cost much less than 1-2.5 for a reasonably capable machine but i thought i just ask around
he's a simple person - not too into the whole lever craze and just wants something reliable and consistent without the hassle of adding much more to his coffee-making routine - that brought me to think a Hx was out of the question since he's not keen on temperature surfing or anything 'complicated'
currently i'm thinking a silvia + PID would do the trick but am not sure about how complicated operating one would be if at all. most of the machines i see in this price range seem to place great emphasis on steaming capabilities or levers and what not... would love to hear about what else is out there! =)
thanks for all the help!
