Bottom Line: All and all, I found the dual boiler with great temp stability, mechanical preinfusion and a 2 year warranty at less than $2k to be the sweet spot for me.

Bottom Line: The Mini II is almost like having a fully auto machine but with all of its features; it puts those machines to shame.
