I've got a Rocket HX (Cellini Evo v2). Have you ever seen innards of the boiler of say 5-years HX machine which wasn't descaled with so-called "boiler overfill" method (water probe connector is removed, so the boiler is filled \*fully\* with descaling solution)? If so, how does it look like?
Much bigger boiler, much better steam, e61, rotary pump => Rocket Cellini Evo v2 (it's HX).
Rocket has finally shipped their fast prosumer models. Have a look. They stuffed a pid-controlled cassette into the brew head. Unless your side hustle is an espresso stand, HX will work.
would definitly look into young used machines, so many people get into this hobby and then stop because they think too much work involved. I'd look into a Rocket, ECM, Profitec, lelit etc... Minimum Heat exchanger boiler. (I have a Rocket with HX boiler, make only 4/5 cappucino's a day without any problem) and a decent grinder.
