Yeah, more and more seem to be popping up. I'd argue that the Flair 58+ ticks all of the boxes for this kind of machine outside of having an ugly power supply. Robot and Flair really do have this product type covered IMO. Robot is so foolproof, the Flair is very capable and uses 58mm accessories... Everything else seems to be kinda novel. E.g. this wild thing: https://espressoforge.com/
Just watched the video... Two preheat flushes, and post shot flush and having to scrub the grouphead with a brush? Na, I'm good.

I've not really been tempted by these sorts of boiler-less lever machines, but this one does look pretty damn cool IMO.
I am a bit surprised at how many of these styles of machines there are recently, but no one seems to be going the Europiccola route. Would be nice to see if anyone can make some useful innovations on that style of machine.
