  • Are they that much better then? I’m really a newb to all this. The classic seems to be the go-to machine as the ideal between pro features, consumer price point and decent build quality, I have seen the Rancilio mentioned but hadn’t really paid it any attention.

    I want a decent machine and a decent grinder than can basically grow with me as I improve my brewing skill. I’ve always been a believer in buy the best thing you can afford and buy stuff that’s built to last.

    Probably not enough to justify the extra outlay compared to the latest Classic, especially now that you don't have to immediately bin and upgrade the Classic steam wand (with a modified Rancilio wand!).
