I sold my Baratza Precizo+ECM Synchronika back in the summer and picked an 870XL during boxing day too.
Seriously... the ECM was an amazing machine. It pulls an EXCELLENT espresso with dreamy creme and all... not to mention it looks like a piece of art on any countertop and more hipster than bcrdukes can ever handle on an espresso machine.
Nevertheless, it comes down to sharing that unit with my family...
My wife can't seem to wrap her head around the set and just ask me to do it for her every time. So are my parents who are in town once every week or two.
We got the 870 yesterday, and my wife was already able to make espresso shot by herself this morning.
