Besides Linea Mini, what are some good single group machines that are under 5K, with double boiler, good steam power, and option of reservoir and plumb in?
I already have the Peak grinder to go with it.
Thanks

Londinium LR. Only single boiler but not that's a non issue/advantage in my experience. 2.3L boiler has more then enough steam power....

Both Profitec 700 and ECM Synchronika have upgraded PID which increases steam boiler temperature/pressure. I'm happy with my Synchronika.

Definitely, a Decent Espresso fits the bill (https://www.decentespresso.com/dem_buy)
It doesn't use boilers, and if when you say double boiler is so you can steam and pull shots at the same time, then the DE1+ and DE1PRO will fall short as they can only do one at a time. But they can do one after the other immediately. They are wonderfully capable machines.

Thank you everyone. I'll let the forum know when I buy my next machine.

Izzo Alex Duetto III going on 5-years next week, I'd buy it again as there have been NO issues what-so-ever - just great espresso and a joy to use drained & plumbed in!
