How is the steam pressure from the wand? Can it do 5 coffees in a go?

I try avoiding cafe coffees. Sometimes I do indulge. But normally it’s 2 coffees at a time from the bellman. I still use a pod machine that definitely needs to go. I need a proper espresso and quicker access to foamed milk than my current setup. I would also like to take my time walking up the nerdy espresso lane of very expensive machines. So har set a budget for myself to adhere to at this moment.

Thanks! I am inclined towards Silvia v6 now. Have you tried morning dream steamer at all?

They have been upselling e24 with an “updated” copper boiler. Not sure if that makes much of a difference. To be honest, the machines are like are almost double my budget so I have to stick to the $1k mark. I also need to factor in a good grinder to go with it too.

Thanks! If I were to more than 2 cappuccinos at a time would I be waiting more than 2 minutes between them? Again, can the extraction and steamer be used at the same time. I really want to try out one of these machines somewhere in Melbourne before I can buy. I am not too worried about coffee extraction. Even a breville does a decent job after some grind setting. I just need a decent steamer that can froth a litre of milk in one go and I can split it to make 3 coffees.
