brandaman4200Spiritello and the eg1 is the obvious choice in this situation.
canon12I played with one and pulled a couple of shots. I was tainted by previous Speedster experiences. Nice machine but there are some better choices for less than $20,000 in my opinion.
JaktherifferI got to play around on a spiritello, it was awesome. I'm a sucker for spring levers though.
Pilly_BilgrimHijacking the top comment here because few people have recommended a spring lever machine yet: the Spiritello or the Nurri Leva (the machine i own) are phenomenal dual boilers with a very forgiving brew mechanism—and they look stunning https://preview.redd.it/tcdu1wwc2gnf1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e1ebf494c38cdfe748d728f38482ba3c279e181
ItsUpToUsNow00To me the Kees van der Westen Speedster or Spirit are still tops.
SachaCapturesyou'd love the Kees Van Der Westen 'Spirit' espresso machine, all sorts of levers. very manual/tactile experience
Intelligent_Emu_4589Yes. Slayer or KVDW both works of art and science!
