I'd like to get feedback on my temptation to upgrade my espresso machine.
I currently own a Saeco Aroma "manual" espresso machine. The stainless one with round silver buttons. IIRC, I bought this machine almost 10 years ago. It works like a brand new one, but unfortunatelu I'm using my Keurig machine more and more as I'm often in a rush these days.
Paired it with a Breville Conical Burr Grinder.
I've got an eye on a Jura Impressa F7 automatic machine. Available with 350$ off at Costco.ca for the next 2 days. It's $1,449.99 CAD +tx (roughly $1,225 USD) including shipping.
It's a lot of dough (even if my budget allows it) and I don't know if it's a good idea. I can always return it to Costco if I get remorse or if I don't like the product.
I rarely froth milk (once a week maybe), so the fact that there is a manual swith to flick to get milk is not a deal breaker for me.
Anybody got opinion on this ? Is it stupid to spend that amount on a machine when I have a perfectly working manual machine (a mostly unused one these days) ?
Thanks !
