I’ll be completely honest, I just want a machine that will pull a cracking double shot, I’m probably unlikely to be doing any crazy stuff with if. I mostly drink Americanos, but if I had a proper machine with a steam wand I’d definitely start trying my hand at some milk coffees.

You'll be happy with a Classic as long as you grind your beans fine enough... I had mine dialled in perfectly then decided to swap out the OEM shower screen and plate for something 'better' and things went tits up for a couple of days but now it's working better than ever... I have no intention of upgrading until this one dies on me, but they're so easy to fix why would you bother?!?

Hard to go wrong with a Classic tbh.
My only criticism is a very recent one - if I adjust the pressure right down, I’m talking 6 bar or lower, it then doesn’t hold any steam pressure either. So you can’t do any of this current experimental stuff pulling espresso at ultra low pressure if you like steamed milky drinks as well, because it’s one or the other!
