Just bite the bullet and call Wholelattelove with your credit card in hand, get a really cool E61 machine and worry about the bill after the new year. Tell them you just bought a grinder and ,"there MUST be something you can do to get me into the machine of my dreams"
Your headed down the path, resistance is futile and it is inevitable you will be owning a prosumer espresso machine. DO IT NOW before you change your mind.
Money comes and goes, but really good espresso has solved most of the world's problems and very likely has jump started our economy and cured global warming.
Problem solved forever.
I gave serious consideration to this machine...
