Rip the arse out that Cubika until it’s close to melting.
This was my set up until a few months ago https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/333124/#comment14708081£150 total spend and it made perfectly good drinks. The gaggia eventually packed it in to the point it wasn’t economical to repair. I’d taken it apart and brought it back from the dead a couple times before but the boiler eventually gave up. I then bought another forum bargain, but it shat it’s self after a few months.
Spent about 6 weeks reading up on dual boiler machines and the Elizabeth seemed like the best option if I didn’t want to fuck about modifying a single boiler machine. The niche zero was second hand. I was sceptical but it really is as good as the internet hype claims.

It’s funny, because it’s mad cash for me, but that Elizabeth is probably the most tempting upgrade I’ve seen. I don’t think I could be arsed modding a classic. But the Elizabeth seems to have all the fancy features you’d want, and from a large marque that should be easy to source parts for.
But I don’t have a grand. And the Gaggia Cubika refuses to die and it still makes a banging shot. It cost me £50 about 10 years ago.
