What would I upgrade to? [$500-800]
Biggest item in my opinion if you like having people over is a dual boiler. Unfortunately that’s something that typically comes above your price range. If you’re willing to get into the DIY I would say a gaggia with the PID upgrade. The only issue I have with the base gaggia is steam power and shot

Looking to upgrade from my Sage BBE soon. With the Lelit Mara v3 released is there a better machine I should be looking at within the same budget? Seems to do everything really well for £1500. Budget [£1500]
Profitec Pro 300 or Ascaso Steel Duo PID Plus (i think a bit more expensive)
