Sonos Beam is showing as "pre-order". A bit odd as it's been out for over a year. Do they mean "back-order" maybe?

This would make for a decent (headless) Home Assistant server. Only neg is power consumption.

Lelit Victoria is $1500 and has PID, preinfusion and although not a dual boiler transitions to steam really quickly due to auto fill boiler.

BES900 just over 6 years old and still going with no trips to the service centre in that whole time. But I think I'm in the lucky minority.
