Just going to save some people some research and say: just get a Baratza Encore. Good enough at it's price point to make great filter, cold brew, or aeropress coffee, and every part that could possibly break can be ordered directly from the company and repaired yourself (although a lot of people go 5-10 years with their machine in perfect condition). If you're doing espresso, there's the encore ESP, and if you really want the highest quality burrs for the price, you can go for a hand grinder from any number of companies, such as 1zpresso
Sounds like a great deal. Mine's a Rancilio Rocky, but I didn't specifically suggest it as I knew the market would have changed in the past 20 years.
