I'm looking to replace a Gaggia Espresso Dose with something a bit better that'll take a bit more use and abuse. (And give me a bit more temperature stability.)
Can someone please recommend a sub $650 machine (ie, Rancilio Silvia or less in price) that has a dosing function?...
I've read the countless pages on here about certain machines, the Gaggia Classic and Silvia to be exact, and I can not make up my mind on what to jump into. My budget is a modest $1,000 on both a grinder and a machine. I see a large amount of people advocate waiting out and...

I'm on the hunt for a new espresso machine, and after several days of research, much of it done here, I'm suffering from research burnout and paralysis from too many choices :-)
So I'm wondering if you all could tolerate one more what-machine-should-I-buy thread?

Everyone is saying how the Rancilio Silvia+Rocky were great 10 years ago for the range. Ok then, but tell me what is the best grinder+espresso machine (both new) combination in the $900-1100 price range?
