Hi All - I have had my faithful Silva V1 for going on 10 - 12 years. I have had it serviced often and it still works OK. It still makes a good shot. However I have decided to treat myself to a new machine.
My question like a lot of others here is what machine next.
My profile:
*. I like Espresso shots.
*. I don't want to wait a long time for the machine to heat up for Espresso. (Before I get blasted about proper warm up time. I start work at +-4am and cannot wait around for 20+ mins for warmup, sleep comes first. No a timer does not suit).
*. Friends come over they usually like Latte. So twin boiler is on the wish list.
*. Somewhat compact as I don't have a huge space.
*. Budget +-2K.
*. Should be a better shot than the Silva if I am spending more.
Any suggestions welcome. I am based on the northern beaches in Sydney.
I have looked at the Lelit PL60T V2 (with PID) @$2000. The machine and reviews look good. However I have not seen a lot of other brands to choose from. Hence my request here to check if there is something better out there?
Many thanks in advance.
