There is one machine I am CHOMPING AT THE BIT to include on our Best Budget Espresso Machines for 2024 list. Problem is, it's not available yet in N. America (though that will change soon).

I did not see that coming. Then again, I've seen interviews with Gene Haas in the past, and he's a very ego driven guy (though not nearly as bad as Papa Stroll) I could see him being jealous of Gunther's fame.
