La Marzocco GS3 for home or light commercial categories and fb80 for the coffee shop!!. Those are the best espresso machine ever built. The GS3 is the perfect machine for those who do not have space in their coffee shop but want a high perfomace. The fb80 ensures maximum temperature stability for coffee brewing and that is what i like the most.

I'm glad you like your sibilla, cuz' mine is less than stellar. I dialed back the temp on the boiler so I wouldn't have to temperature surf for 15+ seconds and now I don't have adequate steam pressure. Most of the HX machines just don't add up when it comes to consistency, in my opinion (though I am intrigued by the use I've had with the NS Aurelia). Synesso/ La Marzocco are my favorites. I would say I like Dalla Corte and even Astoria's new 3 boiler machine, but the 52 mm portafilters are not…

Cheap replacement parts (cost at least), runs smoothly in a high volume cafe and we haven't had any problems out of her unless it was due to barista's not cleaning her right. I used to work on a La Marzocco and I will always have a soft spot...but for the price and durability of the thing I can't get over my Astoria.<br/>Plus if you get it in black it looks like something out of Darth Vader's kitchen.

The Pavloni levers are great too. Today I purchased an impulse item at Macy's in Monterey, For a cool 89 bucks, I got the Aeroccino milk frother which delivers a delicious foam for Caps and a smooth latte hot milk. in exactly 50 seconds you have cold skim milk which transforms into a beautiful creamy foam. 120 seconds gives you a rich, hot milk.<br/>Tutto bono, ciao.</div>

Favorite machine without a doubt the Kees levers with the old Marzocco lever second.<br />
<br />
Of course... totally unrealistic answer given the question was "for your shop".<br />
For that have to go with the most recent generation Mistral on balance (quality of coffee, ease of use, consistency, etc).
