My original Breville DB (and my first step into espresso machines) went to the Coffee gods on the weekend and that has put me into a mixture of panic and excitement over what I should do next.
Im panicing because I dont have a coffee machine at home and excited because Ive got an excuse to go shopping for a new one.
While the BDB has served me faithfully and a new one would give me 3-4yrs of stability, I cant help myself in wondering if I should now vecture out again of my comfort zone.
Im looking at a lever machine, due to its style, simplicity, engineering and the adventure of added control over my coffee. Im only a 1-2 cup a day & usually small extra shot FW is my go, but starting to get a taste for black even though I probably dont even know if Ive had a good shot before.
Im looking at around $1500-$2000 maybe a little more if the cost to life ratio is better and also looking for an easy machine to service, descale, keep clean etc. The descaling of the BDB brought me undone.
I guess apart from recommendations, Im also wondering if Im mad and the alure of the looks over the production of coffee is going to bring me undone.
Im in Brisbane in case that makes a difference and open to any and all suggestions.
Thanks
