Advice on buying a test espresso machine

Posted by luke hudek on February 5, 2011 at 1:44pm in Equipment & Tech

I am looking to buy a machine solely for the purpose of taste testing, it will end up pulling <20 shots a week.

I would like to be able to have a good bit of control on the machine, a PID (PNID) and soft pre infuse are a must.

I would prefer buying the machine used and have no bias for any particular machine. The less costly the better clearly; figured people on here would have an abundance of opinions!
