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.
So your previous setup there looks pretty crazy with a basic search and probably costs thousands of dollars..

What made it so your wife couldnt use it? With a machine like that how much adjustment do you need to make to pull a perfect shot? or does the machine do the thinking?
