Haha I’ve seen them for slightly cheaper and it’s way out of my budget still, but if I could afford it, it seems to tick all of the “ultimate, do-everything espresso machine” boxes.
I measured, and it’s so deep that it doesn’t even fit on my kitchen counter unfortunately 😂 I’d need to build a dedicated espresso bar.
The GS3 I suppose would be the closest, cheaper, sane home equivalent, but would sacrifice the electronic paddle in exchange for a manual one or AV.
