Steel Duo

Nice setup. Out of curiosity how long do the beans in the hopper last you? It's a shame they don't do it in stainless silver. Any reason you choose this over an Ascaso steel duo for instance?

Nice. I'm tempted by the Ascaso Steel Duo Plus V2 PID. Debating that or the Profitec Move.

Ouch. This is the absolute biggest reason preventing me from upgrading my 2 "dumb" machines. My Flair 58 is just a heater, and my Ascaso Steel Duo doesn't use a chip, just a little PID controller. I thought about getting a Sanremo YOU or a Decent, but yeah... those touch screens are not a longevity

Long answer (my reasoning): I’ve had the ascaso for 6 years now and it still makes excellent espress

Ascaso duo & the lunar were both quite nice, was really happy with mine. eventually stopped brewing espresso, so i sold them but they were lovely machines i would recommend if someone cares about heating up times. i did, too.

I was so close to backing the Meraki, but was worried about the longevity of components and repairability, too much going on internally makes them annoying to work on. Probably a little over budget, but if a similar workflow is your aim, I'd be looking for a GBW grinder (Libra, AllGround Sense) and

Depth limit kinda narrows the field, but you’re already looking in the right direction. Bianca v3 - great steaming, really stable temps, and the movable water tank makes it one of the few E61s that actually works on shallow counters. Tons of headroom for the future too. Ascaso Steel Duo- probably th
