If you’re after beauty and limited electronics, the Faema e61 is still made (ignore the Jubilee, the Legend is the one I mean). Most parts are I interchangeable

The pinnacle for good looks has to be the Faema Urania.

Both of those are very very expensive.
At the other end of the scale, and making coffee that I’m not sure I could tell apart, is the cult classic, the Rancilio Silvia. You’ll pick a second hand one up quite cheap, and they are very good.
Mine made approximately 15k coffees with one cheap service 10 years in. It’s still going well.

- patrickdavey 4y agoThe rancilio looks great. A different comment said it takes 4 minutes to switch from brewing to steaming? Is that correct? I quite like a flat white in the morning and 4 mins is quite a while ;)
- lostlogin 4y agoI think it’s quicker than that, but I took a different approach. I steamed, switched to espresso then released the excess pressure into a jug. Then made coffee.
