An elegant, fun machine for those who want to hone their skills and experiment more, the Ascaso makes the best espresso of any machine we tested but requires some practice to master.

 Since I purchased my machine (August 2019) they've redesigned the knob and the steam valve (and likely many other parts as well), but that just seems to indicate that they are testing out designs on consumers and then they don't stand by their product: When I contacted Ascaso about my broken steam valve for instance, they said it had since been redesigned and hopefully the new one, which I had to purchase, would be better. Oh, and they have no way to assist me in replacing the part: "Open it up and good luck!"

 The machine, however, is poorly made, poorly designed, and is ultimately not durable. To me, that makes it one to avoid. In less than two years and only ~750 shots of espresso, I had a number of worn out gaskets, two broken steam knobs, and a broken steam valve. This is despite regular cleaning

I really like the way this machine looks. And it makes tasty espresso and cappuccino. The machine, however, is poorly made, poorly designed, and is ultimately not durable. To me, that makes it one to avoid

If you want a headache with your espresso, buy this one

Based on Son’s experience an E61 machine is not for me. These are like Rolexes, nice but need regular maintenance that can get expensive. 

 Go through a number of mid range drip machines but remain unsatisfied. Find a KitchenAid SCAA certified machine on sale at the Bay. This is now getting somewhere until the carafe breaks but find out the replacement was more than I paid for the machine and sorry we don’t make that machine anymore and carafes are no longer available, 😠

Coffee is a hell of a drug.

The shots are definitely among the most flavorful I have ever pulled at home. They are not as good as a great espresso bar with a talented barista, but they’re very good - a definite step up for me, especially in consistency. And given that I’m in the middle of a rural area, they’re the best I can get for 31 miles (50 km) or more.

I’ve adjusted the temperature slightly; I’m now using 203˚ F (95˚ C). I’ve set the pre-infusion to 5 seconds. 

 The sequencing and temperature resetting are tricky and can lead to a lot of hot water splatter. As I said, I need more practice. 

It's Exactly What I'd Thought!

I got a return model which I ended up upgrading, however my thoughts are that it has amazing aesthetics- actually second to none in that department and is great that you can use 58mm accessories.

It’s for a specific user

Also, the temperature displayed on the PID “jumps” from 86°C to the temp you selected (ex.: 94°C) so it’s hard to know if the temperature is accurate when cooling down or warming up. The only way to know is when the boiler light stops flashing. That’s just a small annoyance

Excellent espresso machine for the price.

 Night and day with the same beans. Easy to dial in and works well with the grinder. Very happy with our purchase and quick delivery. Even the courier was curious about what was in the boxes

Performance with a great look.

For the espresso machine, I have been looking at the Profitec pro 600,  Breville Dual Boiler BES920XL, Rancilio Silvia Pro Espresso Machine, LUCCA A53 Mini Espresso Machine by La Spaziale. As of right now, I'm leaning towards the Profitec pro 600, Rancilio pro, and the Lucca A53.

I have been looking at the Lucca a53 and if you have the room under where the machine is to be located you can go with the plumbed version and use a 5g water-cooler jug with a flojet accumulator setup and with that you can control the preinfusion based on the bar you set on the accumulator and then you have preinfusion like the Elizabeth but with a workhorse machine that will last and last.

I've decided that the Lelit Bianca et al. go too far for me. I will "settle" for dual boilers and PID control, leaving flow profiling off the list of requirements. I'm seeing that for about $1600, the Lelit Elizabeth and the Rancilio Silvia Pro look like good options. I'm leaning towards the Lelit atm for its pre-infusion.

Now the question: are there any other strong contenders in this segment that I should consider? 

TIA for help with my first world problem!

Out on the long tail of diminishing returns

In terms of features the Lucca A53 and the Profitec Pro 300 are the most capable on that list while the ECM Mechanika and Appartamento seem equally the least capable. I like the Lucca the best on paper but the 53mm portafilter is a dealbreaker for me personally though this may not matter to others.

What do you guys think is the best machine under $2k? I’m currently looking at the following:

ECM Mechanika slim
Profitec Pro 300
Rocket Apartamento
Lucca A53 mini

I make mostly milk drinks. Anyone have experience with these machines?

Best machine under $2k

But yeah, an engineer buddy of mine diagrammed out why a hx was not for me (after the Gaggia experience I wanted repeatable and consistent temps) so double-boiler was my choice. My final cut was Profitec 300, 600, Bianca and a Lucca A53 Mini. I couldn't live with the black plastic of the Lucca and I didn't like the looks of the 300, nor the lame switch that I would break on the front. I also wanted good steam so the stretch seemed worth it

Hi guys! Another person in need of a recommendation from experienced espresso machine users :) 
There‘s still quite a bit of time left until I finally pull the trigger but I want to know what to expect. 
Budget is around 2.5-3k$

Drinking profile: 
- 2-3 cups a day, sometimes more if we‘ve got people over. 
- We exclusively drink milk drinks like lattes or cappuccinos, therefore a proper steam wand is a must

My current favorite is the Lelit Bianca paired with either a Niche or - depending on the reviews and quality - the new Eureka single dosing Oro, once it‘s out. 

Current thoughts and concerns: 
- Is a dual boiler overdoing it since we will be drinking 3 drinks max. a day? 
- Regarding the time for heating up - how about a high quality HX machine like the Ascaso Steel Duo PID?
- Are HX machines (given it‘s a high quality one) more future-oriented?

Also, I am located in Germany if that helps anything.
I think that‘s about it for now - thankful for any recommendations and helpful thoughts :)

Recommendations for a ~3k setup?

* Lucca A53 - I like the classic look of this one, but the temp control seems kind of looser (you get 10 options I think?). * Rocket Mozzy V - This is slightly uncomfortable in price but seems to be the Mac daddy for the features I want.

Over all, I recommend paying the additional $300 for the Lucca A53 over the Appartamento due to getting more features, more consistency, and a serious work horse.

-The A53 portafilter handle feels cheap with that kind of plastic unless you go for the A53 wood handle upgrade. The Appartamento's handle has a much more solid feel.

-The A53 drip tray is easier to work with because it's light and I just find it easier to handle due to the shape and fit.

I purchased the Lucca A53
