Yes, as an Elizabeth owner myself I concur. I went for the Elizabeth as a very capable machine that had all of the necessary elements to produce top line coffee and milk drinks. I felt when I purchased it that it was the least expensive option that had all that I wanted. It has not disappointed at all. In fact, the more I use it, the more I appreciate so many aspects of the machine, from the easy programming, mighty boilers, easy cleaning, and small footprint compared to so many other dual boiler machines. Add a great company in Lelit and great online help such as this forum and DaveC’s documents, and it has done it for me. I will not “upgrade”. This machine was the upgrade I needed.
