Erik - if you’re looking for a smaller footprint and reliable machine, I’d suggest you look at the ECM mechanica. I have several of their machines (Synchronica (2) and the Mechanica) for different locations and like them because they’re built by Germans, designed by Italians and ALL of the parts are replaceable. I’ve never had an issue with any of them, but like the idea of being able to use them for decades with modest upkeep.
2 lattes or espressos in the morning before I do anything. It’s a safety thing,
