Hibrew h10A is very solid entry machine ($219 in Amazon) and the Turin SK40 grinder ($200) not as easy to use in the beginning but once you understand it it’s an amazing grinder
I love my Hibrew H10A. I believe a famous coffee-influencer-YT'er also recently gave it the thumbs up.
I'm happy with my Hibrew H10A with PID and 58mm basket. I just saw they have a H10A that is Bambino like for 150. That has PID with 51mm basket.
For 200€, hibrew h10a no discussion. Steel lined thermoblock, 58mm portafilter, temp display, pressure gauge, decent steam, with normal steam wand (no auto junk), and so on …
Can vouch for H10A. Go for it!
Hibrew H10A was $200 last Black Friday. Probably as good as it gets for the price. [edit] FWIW, I own the H10A and it was a great beginner espresso machine for me. I use it daily to make flat whites. It's not built for life, but I haven't had an issues after a year of daily use. It's also well reviewed by YouTubers.
