  • I'd keep an eye out for a small commercial machine with an E61 (style) grouphead in case you see any going cheap. I'm sure the Silvia is probably great, but E61 machines make really consistently good coffee.

  • To be honest. I like the idea of buying something like that, but I would also like to own something from new, with a warranty. I don't really want something that I have to open up and modify, or get serviced - I already have enough of that with bikes!

    I don't really want something second hand - I just want something slightly better than a Classic which will last a long time. We also have limited worktop space in our kitchen and quite a low max height, which rules most commercial machines out.
