I have a Saeco Incanto fully automatic at home (only because it's the one my wife can use) and a la Pavoni PC-16 lever pull at work. I have a Mazzer Mini grinder that runs Illy, Gimme, and Intelligentsia Black Cat espresso through it.
I like my la Pavoni PC-16, but want something that I can pull more frequent espressos from. My issue right now is that I run the la Pavoni dry and have to wait for it to cool down and refill it, then start all over again. (we've recently expanded and hired a few more espresso fans).
So, I'm after a prosumer machine that can pull really amazing, consistent espresso. I'm looking at semi-automatic machines that have a water tank, or can possibly be plumbed. I'd like to target the sub $2500 range. So far I've been considering Expobar, Izzo, and Quick Mill, but I'd be willing to consider something else. I'm really after the best prosumer I can purchase and my barista enthusiast skills are pretty solid.
