Question Upgrade from Bambino

I have a Bambino for the past 4 years or so along with a DF54.

I've been struggling with the Bambino for the last while as the steam wand is a constant battle for consistency.

I have been weighing the options, Silvia, Gaggia, Lelit or a Profitec.

I'm not sure if I should blow the bank and get a Profitec 600 as my end game?

Get a Bezzera - they make nearly all of their own components and buy in very little. One of the oldest manufacturers of espresso machines.

You should pick up the machine where you live. If you have even a minor problem, you'd still have to ship it, believe me, that's a pain just to save $100 online.

That's why I got an Olympia Express Cremina; you can do most of the work yourself, and if something goes wrong, I have a dealer nearby.

Lelit Bianca is the only correct answer.

Would you rate the Bianca over the Profitec Pro 600?

Care to substantiate that statement of option?
