£315 gets you a nice modded Gaggia Classic.

Which for most people is all the machine they’ll ever need.
And if you keep an eye on eBay, you could easily spend half that (albeit for an unmodded machine).
And seeing this completed auction:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186012733850?Makes me think that a second hand machine and grinder is more doable than I thought for £300. Although beyond searching for an Iberital MC2 or Eureka Mignon, I’m not sure what models are good to look for second hand (although there will be loads).

I currently have a dualit coffee machine that I’ve had since I got married, and I was thinking of replacing it, it makes an ok flat white but it’s not great, is there anything that’s going to rock my socks in the £300 range or would I be better getting a bean grinder, nice beans and scales for that kind of money?
