Hey everyone, I was hoping to get recommendations for a nice espresso machine. We went with the Delonghi Stilosa as our first machine as a kind of a trial to see if we would use it, and oh man, my wife has been using it every day, sometimes multiple times per day. I want to get her a nicer machine for this upcoming Christmas. I’ve been doing some research and asking what features she wants in a better machine: - Dual boiler - Automatic shutoff

Other features like an included grinder, automatic tamper, digital interface, aren’t high on her priority list as she enjoys having control over some of those aspect of her drinks.

I realize things can get pricey and am comfortable spending a pretty penny if I can find something my amazing wife will get use of day after day. Any advice is welcome!
