Upgraded. Went from a Miele superautomatic to a Lelit Mara X and a DF64. First dialed in shot tastes good... about the same as my dad's Mignon Specialita + Gaggia Classic Pro. I know this setup can do better. Just need to tweak it more.
The milk steaming is much improved over the Gaggia though, I need to learn how to do it better.
