But my goodness, the Lido struggles here and it really constitutes slumming it till the NZ arrives! (Lido is great, btw, for filter coffee, but ill-suited for espresso I have learned.)

Gotta say: the steam pressure from this Profitec is incredible. It’s been six and a half years since I quit being a barista, and this machine really challenged me to make silky milk. I am gonna go buy four litres of the cheapest milk tomorrow and just find my way with it again. Failing that, the steam pressure can be adjusted down, but who wants less!

Congrats on the new machine! Let us know what you think about the niche/Profitec after you get a chance to mess with it.

I have a Sette 270wi and kinda regret not having the patience to wait for a Niche. I've been happy with the performance but would've liked how a quieter machine that could also switch between espresso and pour over.
