Just kidding, there's still plenty of room for upgrades. I went with GBW to make my wife's transition from a fully automatic easier. My preference for lighter roasts will inevitably lead to a single dose grinder in the near future.
I was torn between the Decent and the Wendougee, but the price, cup heater, gear pump, and (subjectively) the looks tipped the scale. I'm still a bit concerned about after-sales support and long-term reliability but time will tell.
So far, I'm very happy, shots are consistent and tasty. Dialing in took some time since I had no previous experience. Was pretty happy to finally pull my first latte "art" after a few days of trying – the steam wand is very powerful, so frothing milk consistently is tricky, but I’m getting there.

I also went full upgraditis when I bought my first setup a few weeks ago ^^
Ended up with the same machine, and the Wendougee Milo 2 Play grinder to pair.
Really nice machines!
Have fun! Looks really nice

Hello, fellow cyclist! I have a few questions about the machine if you don’t mind. What can you tell me after using it for a little while now? Anything changed from your original opinion? How is the build quality? How bad is the app for the machine? Anything that you would have liked to know before you purchased it? Which country are you located in?
Cycling upgraditis taught me I should aim for a GS3 next year.
If I could recover some of that bike money I could get a fourth grinder, hmmm
N+1 definitely applies to both cycling and espresso.
