Not quite as fancy as things like the ECM, but I have the Sage Barista Pro (and had the Barista Express before) and have been very pleased.
Now I'm approaching the end of the kitchen works I'm considering an espresso machine as the celebratory treat and cherry on top of the whole experience.
I have a grinder already (it's not perfect, but it's good enough), and I'm looking for an espresso machine in the £800-£1,500 range.
Ideally a single group machine that is low/easy maintenance, accurate (consistent), attractive.
Silvio Rancillo Pro looks like a default choice https://www.ranciliogroup.com/rancilio/silvia-pro/ but are there recommendations for better, or criticisms of the Rancillo that suggest I should avoid it?
