A quiet weekend left me with too much time on my hands and I was scrolling for espresso machines when I came across this machine.

Second hand with 550 shots in its short lifetime and walnut upgrade (original wood kit included) a ton of baskets and half the price of a new machine.

30 minutes later I had bought it.

So far very happy with my setup though I suspect I will still be having my eye on the Linea Mini

    Linea mini is considered a downgrade now imo..

    That’s my setup, no regrets. It’s fantastic.

    You have funny looking electrical plugs.

    The Internet and time on one’s hands can be a dangerous situation indeed. 🙂 Enjoy the setup in good health!

    And love those soothing cups–the colors go so nicely with the new machine!

  5. What are the cups? Kinda loving how those look.

    To be fair OP, the only correct way to buy an espresso machine is impulsively.. We think, we think, and think some more, but getting over that hump at the end does require a little leap of faith.

    About five years ago I decided to replace a lever machine and the place where I buy my equipment had a Bianca V2 on display. He suggested that I take it home and try it. The machine quality at the price was exceptional. Everything about it worked perfectly. After I got it dialed in I started making drinks like I wanted. My wife and I were blown away with the clarity and flavor being extracted from the same coffee I had been using. The dealer, knowing how particular I was, directed me to a La Marzocco GS3MP and I decided to go with it. I have nothing to say but good things about the Bianca. It was an eye opening experience. The LM has been service free for over 5 years. Love it too.

    If you ever want to sell it, when upgrading, please let me know! 😊 Beautiful setup btw.

    I saw one for $1000 on Friday but it was a long drive away from me, I was planning to reach today if they still had but it got sold like in 1h that same day lol.

    It had the orignal wood kit though.
