That’s a great comparison, very true.

What a great backstory! I can only hope that my 30th wedding anniversary present to myself is also a bargain La Marzocco!

        CafeNoir 100%. There are more factors at play in my purchases other than just the difference in the cup. For example I get delicious and more consistent espresso out of the Decent but love the Streitman’s looks and the tactile experience of the lever.

            I have just realised what a powerful badge LM is, how many threads start with a coffee machine and end up with years of married life 😀
