Casabrew 20 bar vs De’Longhi Stilosa [< $300 CDN]

Buying Advice Needed

Howdy folks!

About to purchase our first espresso machine, and already pretty overwhelmed at how much there is to learn about the good/bad of various machines.

I realize consistency is something the entry level models are going to struggle with, and I’ll upgrade when we get the hang of things and decide how far into this venture we want to go. But when looking for something under $300 CDN, I kept coming back to these two options: Casabrew 20 bar and De’longhi Stilosa.

Does anyone have any feedback they could give on the two?

I’m leaning toward the Stilosa, but also stuck in analysis paralysis.

Please help!
