I am considering upgrading from my trusty Bialettis to a decent espresso machine in the 1.5k-3k range. Likely usage is for 1 or 2 people (mostly) and 2-4 coffees am, and decaf (fresh ground beans obs) in the evening.
I already have a Macap M2D that will do for time being (I understand some here are passionate about continuous grind control, but I am not that sophisticated ...yet).
I have read about Rockets, Bezzera, ECM, Profitec and loads of others and I am a little overwhelmed! Jet-black have a bewildering range, then there are second hand units - false economy? PID? heat exchanger? dual boiler? Lots to think about. Some advice to guide me through this maze would be greatly appreciated.
The machine will sit on a somewhat crowded bench top, so Appartamento slimness prolly good.
I've probably not given anything like enough info except betraying my neophyte credentials - and no I dont want a fully automatic even though I might be a candidate for one!! :-) thanks in advance!
