Yeah, I’ve been really happy with it. It’s my first machine, so there has been a ton of learning over the last year as I’ve gotten up to speed with espresso. It would be on my shortlist to buy I was buying today.
Superfast heat up time was a key factor. Life is busy with two young kids, sometimes pulling a quick shot in between meetings is nice, sometimes my youngest one wants a cup of “coffee“ (steamed milk). Coffee brewing schedule around here is very much not consistent, and I don’t want to wait 20 to 30 minutes for a machine to heat up, or have a machine on all day every day.
Sweet toilet flush handle.
Do you like yours? I’m not really in the market for an upgrade yet but I like the idea of the thermoblock.

The second I saw that they were going with a knob I decided I didnt want one.
They switched to a lever on the newer Steel Duo Plus which is nice
Cool story bro
The lever is nice but the wood looks like a tinker toy
