I have an opportunity to upgrade my Gaggia baby twin to a Nuovo Simonelli Oscar for $500
The baby twin has been a good introduction to espresso but it is starting to have issues. Stream wand is leaking and the paint is flaking which will eventually cause many more issues. 3 way valve has been clogged but I've been able to clean it out. Still makes a good drink but I have the money saved and think it's time to move on.
With that being said I found an Oscar for sale on Craigslist. It has only been used a few times as it was purchased for a business that ended up not using it as intended. If the condition is as described does anyone have experience with one and reasons for or against it?
I also have a Baratza Vario just to let you know grinder shouldn't be an issue.
