    Slightly O.T. but.... :

    Something else to keep in mind with the Lelit/Nemox range of machines, is that they respond particularly well to a PID Controller upgrade, even more so than the Silvia because of differences in Boiler design. While it wont be able to perform like a HX machine with this mod, it will allow you to undertake so-called walk-up espresso shots, completely eliminating the need for temperature surfing and improving shot-to-shot consistency. As an added bonus, will also improve the Steam performance too.... 8-)

        My 2 cents worth.

        The Sunbeam was my frist grinder and it did an amazing job for the price.  It has a great reputation.

        If you can stretch, go for a used K3 touch at $350-$450.  Give the Rocky a miss as its not much of a step up from the Sunbeam.

        If you can stretch to a better machine as well Id recommend a used Silvia.

        Good luck
