Been really debating a gaggia versus a flair 58 so it’s nice to hear a perspective. I’m an engineering guy so I’m always down to mod but there’s something about learning to do it all manual that’s intriguing as well!

As a fellow engineering guy I can definitely empathize! My previous (and first "real") machine was a La Pavoni Europiccola, and I still have a Picopresso which I use for travel. Manual lever machines really give you an appreciation for the mechanics involved with making espresso. In the end the repeatability of a semi-auto machine won me over though :P
