Solid review, sir! Your bottomless basket demonstration was great! Really made me want to try one with my Breville Barista Express. Was debating if this machine and brand is good since I've never heard of Duchess. We may be living in CNX for a few months so we decided to pick one of these or the 4200, but I think this is good enough to use everyday for a few months. Definitely cheaper than buying 2 cappuccinos everyday! Thanks so much for the in-depth review! The package we're looking at also has a Duchess CH9300 burr grinder. Is that one pretty good? Again, we're coming from the Barista Express, so curious how this set up works in comparison at a fraction of the price.
