Had a Gaggia that I picked up from @Lew_redd, didn't use too much and ended up selling it to @amey.
Bought a Sage/Breville Barista Express a few weeks back and been impressed.
Seemingly decent burr grinder on the left side and a (single) PID controlled boiler on the right with steam wand.
Used an Aeropress before (and still do) but this does seem to make a decent espresso. Pressure gauge and dosing controls seem to let you figure out and adjust what you're doing to a degree.
