Hi Greg,
I'm a bit of a coffee snob (ok, a huge snob). I use a dual setup like the BES920 (Just a little older) and have done for years. What you get depends on how you plan to use it. The Breville machines work fine, but won't keep a consistent temperature if you are doing a lot of coffees, but this is probably the least important thing. Getting the grind right, using a good blend of beans, and getting the milk right are all way more important. If you are new to doing coffee manually, get yourself a thermometer for the milk (they are cheap) to make sure you don't burn it.. Ed.

Anyone got a recommendation for a serious (possibly manual) coffee machine? I've been using a DeLonghi automatic one but now feeling that I'd prefer something like this: BES890 or BES920: http://www.breville.com.au/beverages/coffee-machines.html The main thing that puts me off is the Breville brand.
