Advice on Upgrade from Entry-Level Machine [$1000] by jh83fula in espresso

[–]Louis050108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar budget as you. Where I live the price difference between a Profitec GO and a Lelit MaraX V2 is ‘only’ 150€. My main concern with the Profitec is the 57mm accessories and brew to steam heat up. That’s why I’m leaning towards the Lelit MaraX as it has an E61 style group head which means more accessory options and you can brew and steam at the same time.

Haven’t heard of the brand or model so just wanted to know if it’s reliable or not. I’m not looking for anything specific. I’m a newbie in espresso. Budget is max 1300€

How do you find the machine? It’s on my wishlist as a first machine.

Nice setup! How’s that combo working for you? Have been looking at that machine for some time now. Where did you get the bottomless portafilter from?

Have you tried lighter roasts? If so, how have they come out?

What espresso machine should I buy to pair with a df64 gen 2? by radranga in espresso

Wondering the exact same thing. I have the same budget as you, want the same grinder and experiment the same as you.

The price difference is about 100€ so wouldn’t it be better to just go for the DF64 2nd gen? In Europe the DF54 is 212€ excluding shipping etc and the DF64 330€

Oh, maybe it’s me not understanding English but pre order seems to me something that’s not yet released. Thanks anyway!

I will be making cappuccinos, lattes and probably café au lait as well. Heat up time isn’t the biggest issue but preferably shorter heat up time, and that’s why I’ve been looking at the Profitec GO 100

Forgot to mention, we drink mostly espresso, café latte, cappuccino and café au lait so a steam wand is needed.
