I did not know about that one.

I knew about the other Flair ones (Flair 58 Plus 2 being their top), and the Cafelat robot, the Aram, and the ones with boilers like the Olympia Cremina.

I went for cheap but effective. My hand grinder that can do espresso grind has not arrived yet and my existing 15 year old grinder doesn't quite do espresso grinds. But it works anyways because the neo builds pressure by restricting output. Sure, snobs will insist it could be better, but this is so good I cannot tell the difference. And it was cheap (US $100, NZ $250) compared to that $1500 device you mentioned.
