Encore ESP

I might be one of the few people on this sub that actually has the grinder. Idk where you’re located, but judging from the picture, it looks like your Amazon account is not in the US.

You should see my Baratza Encore ESP lol. Sometimes it is generous enough to share the coffee with me.

Not really… The Lelit Elizabeth is a cost effective choice for a machine that has almost all the features you could want: temperature control and stability, programmable preinfusion, good build quality.

Do you want a semi automatic or a super auto, if a semi-auto integrated grinder or separate? If you want a super auto, and can chip in another 200 bucks, the JURA C3 is probably your best choice, they carry Miele but they're way over your budget. If you want a separate grinder/semi automatic then yo
