  • So to complicate matters I’ve just found a pre-2015 Classic 2nd hand, locally to where my parents live, for £70.. it looks in very good nick and is advertised as lightly used. I’d want to do the steam arm upgrade, but that’s not an expensive job.

    Call it £100 for the 2nd hand pre-2015 plus the steam arm and some descaled etc to get it all cleaned up vs £315 for the new one... decisions...

  • I wouldn't buy a new one. But I've been known to pull machines apart and scatter their remnants around the kitchen as offerings for the coffee gods...

  • Is that based on anything in particular? Assuming the older ones are better made?

    I’d be inclined to agree, it’s definitely the case with most things I’ve come across, tools etc.
