Rancilio
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- aim for a Niche Zero (or similar low‑retention grinder) + a simple PID single‑boiler or compact heat‑exchange machine (Lelit/used Rancilio/used Rocket Appartamento type).
- I’m using a Rancilio right now and it’s an amazing machine, but for a beginner the Breville Barista is 100% the better choice.
- I'm a fan of Rancilio.
- The Rancilios are not the sexiest of machines, but they're built like tanks.
- As well now looking at getting a second hand rancilio in fantastic shape.
Cons
- Parent context: Isn't 5-6 grind clicks superb? My rancilio has only like 2-3 usable clicks but realistically only one. This will be a great upgrade then! Reply: This will be a great upgrade then!
- also looking more traditional Rocket, Diletta, Rancilio etc.
- He just said, "Save money and buy a normal Rancilio or Lelit (in Italy, they are cheaper). A dual boiler is too much for a normal home setup."
- Id either go with the bambino, which seems to have the best reliability out of all their products, or go with a more traditional machine like a Gaggia,Rancilio, Acasaco, Profitec, etc.
- Which is a shame, because it would pair perfectly with my single boiler Rancilio.
