I'd like to get some recommendations, for an espresso machine, in the $600-$700 budget. Something a little better, than a Gaggia Classic/Pro. I am currently using a Baratza Vario, that's just been completely serviced. I'd like to stay with this grinder. I would prefer a machine, that has a small footprint. I plan to use this machine, for espresso and for milk based drinks. Primarily used for my wife and I. Maybe, something like a Lelit Ana ?? Or, something else, with an E61 grouphead ?? Much appreciated.

I just bought a used Breville Dual Boiler for $675 on EBay with thankfully perfect internals. I absolutely love it! And that is coming from previously using a Strietman ES2, Rocket Appartamento, and LMLM.
I couldn't be more happy.
Your grinder will serve you very very well, if you felt like spending about $30-40 more, you could give it more components from the Forté, just do a search on the forums for "FortArio," or look through Peter's posts here:
