Good to know, thanks!

I'm in a similar situation with the same 2 grinders. Been eyeing a MC6 as an upgrade. Does anyone know if the portafilter forks work with the offset lugs used on a bosco lever group (p800, Londinium, etc.)?

Remember when Orphan Espresso announced the Pharos on April 1 and everyone assumed it was a joke? That turned out to be a pretty nice product that elevated many people's espresso game. Hopeful this one will turn out similarly !

Not really an accessory, but good water! Whether you make your own recipe (rpavlis), use third wave water packets + distilled, etc just make sure you feed your new machine good, non-scaling water.

Thanks for the replies! Bonavita used to be my go-to recommendation but thought they had gone out of business. Will have to take a look again. I looked at the grind control, but I'm wary of any built in grinder, will likely be bringing my hand grinder. Love the clever dripper, and if it was

Must have missed your budget in your OP, too many eggnogs yesterday In that case, the la spaz would be near the top of my list for a pump machine, and a pro 800 or londinium compressa for spring lever option. I've had my pro 800 for almost 5 years and still love
