Is the Crossland CC1 affecting pricing of this unit? I understand the business is moving to a new location and is offering "moving sales". It will be interesting to see if the price goes back up after they are settled in at their new location.
I chew coffee beans with my teeth while gargling with 195 F water to enjoy coffee. What is this "coffee brewing" device you speak of?
I also noticed their Acasco price is a tad lower than other retailers, as are their lelit prices (hard to compare though, since I think they're the only source, at least for US sales, for the pid model). For the Acasco price, it says summer sale, while other specials like their silvia+grinder sale specifically says moving sale deal.
I haven't used the Acasco or lelit, but am anxious to try them all out!
The CC1 has pre-infusion, and volumetric settings, addl. modes, so for the ultimate tweaker, it might be a notch ahead!

what would be the next step up from this machine if I were looking at a lower cost espresso machine with PID temp control, pre-infusion control, etc etc... (a pressure gauge would have been nice as well)
The beep and temp come up in about 10 minutes, but I flush a couple of times and try to wait a bit longer before 1st shot.
shot to steam is immediate, or 10-15 seconds max for me. I am starting from a pretty high brew temp though.
I have never measured CC1 on to steam, I always brew first.
From steam back to shot mode, if you wait for the beep, and temp to show target, it's about a minute. This can be reduced by adjusting one of the parameters for quicker recovery at the expense of overshoot. However, since you can watch the temp come up in real-time, you can pull the shot after a 15 to 30 second wait, and it's not going to be noticeably cooler than if you wait the full minute for the beep.

No need for a PM - Seattle Coffee Gear and Chris Coffee Service both are offering this machine and are only a Google search away. Both are reputable so for this value machine you have some choices but neither will be wrong.
