Sorry if this topic has been discussed before but after searching and researching for weeks now I feel I have to decide on a machine soon!
My background is Silvia/Rocky but want an upgrade in stability and controllability.
Things I'd prioritize:
Best possible espresso quality
Quick start-up time
Nice finish/esthetics/quality/serviceability of the machine
Nice to have:
Ability to plumb into water line
Size is a factor
Grinder I've been recommended is a Quamar Q50E. Any thoughts on that?
Perhaps upgrade to M80 or Profitec Pro T64?
Models I've been looking at are the ECM Classika PID and Technika IV Profi. I'm aware I'm comparing a single boiler unit with a HX machine and that one is €550 cheaper
Please give me your input and feedback!
