I've worked/studied in four engineering firms, with academics and engineers who understand trade-offs and know the meaning of the word "satisficing".

Independently, six of us ended up buying the same Breville espresso machine "The Dual Boiler". It's about half the price of the equivalent Italian dual boiler machines, and about twice the price of entry level machines. Yes, it looks like something Breville would make, but despite that, it performs like an ECM, Rancilio, or Vibiemme machine.
