I've been meaning to upgrade from a Breville Bambino, but key for me is a machine I can turn on and brew coffee right away on a whim (small footprint would also be nice), but I haven't found any options between the Brevilles and the Decent.
I have my Gaggia Classic connected to a smart plug. Okay, it’s not _instant_, but I can decide I want a coffee, turn on the machine from my phone and it’ll be heated by the time I go and make it.
I know this is how many people do it, it strikes me as surprising that you don't need this compromise at the very low end (Breville Bambino), nor at the high end (Decent), but there's nothing in between
You can get a normal basket for your Bambino. As long as your grinder is decent, should be fine.
