If you want the option for auto feature go Delonghi

Between the rest from reviews go with Gaggia Classic and upgrade the steam wand. Give you an option to play with coffee

Trust me after having auto....you might want to jump to semi auto not long after that  biggrin.gif ....cos the caffeine and milk frothing addiction in semi auto is unresistable.

But given the budget machine you had propose, i say stick to auto for best feature....

just what i have in mind. i'm looking for semi-auto instead of auto.
delonghi website states that ec860 milk frother is manual.
