Prosumer espresso machines have come a long way from since I got into this over a decade ago. There weren't companies or trailblazers like Breville on the market who created affordable machines that do what they do today; These really were 4 digit coffee makers at the time.

If my Rocket ever dies (likely won't happen) I'll probably pick up a prosumer Breville seeing as they can really do so much more than they were able to and what I need it to do. Mind you, I've also learned a lot in terms of my skillset so I want to do more with less.

I won't kid myself and admit I'd love a 5 digital coffee maker (who doesn't want a nice machine on their kitchen counter?) but even 3 digit coffee makers can be stretched beyond their advertised capabilities to truly perform like a 4 digit coffee maker.
