As has been said in this thread and many others. You can pull a terrible shot on a $2,000 machine just as easily as you can on a $500 machine.
I can agree with that statement, but you're leaving the most important constant out of this equation, the grinder
Anyone care to add their .02? I'd appreciate any input, advice, or suggestions. Thanks.
take a look at the price of that machine ($600)...it's a super auto, meaning it is the espresso machine and grinder all in one. Believe what you want to believe but you're not going to pull a good shot using a grinder that costs less than $600-$700. nuff said
