    Thanks tompoland, me beating around the bush to avoid saying "im after the cheapest one" ultimately led me to spit it out!

    Most of the stainless HX machines seem to be $2.2k and up, so I'm hoping to stay around the lower end. If it's a little bit more to get a machine that's more reliable or comes more recommended, I can adjust the budget a little

    Time to upgrade! Advice needed

    Hi all,

    We've been rocking a Breville Dual Boiler machine for the last 6 years or so and while it's been relativly reliable, I'm a bit over the leaks and o-ring repacements. I've been looking around at some more traditional, stainless steel machines but I'm not sure what to look for.

    My "must haves" would be a machine that allows brew and steaming (dual boiler or HX?), e61 brew group and a lever for brewing (rather than a button). I would love a machine with a rotary pump and the ability to plumb but these appear to be premium features that I don't have a budget for.

    So I'm curious which of the lower end stainless steel machines you can recommend?

    From a quick look around, these seem to fit the three minimums and are priced most agressivley ?:
    • Expobar Office Leva
    • Isomac Tea Due
    If anyone has any other recommendations or advice on the above, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers!
Working...
