I have the Evolution, and you'll be frustrated with that machine
without a grinder that can handle espresso. I have a Rocky, that works
great. The Evolution doesn't have the temperature stability of the
Lever, or the weight, no HX, etc., but it does have a good quality pump
and heavy group head and filter. You won't get much without a decent
grinder. . .

I wouldn't buy the Mukka, if only because of the cleanup. (OTOH, they seem
to have really caught on in Italy - the shops were full of them this summer
- so maybe cleanup is less bad than it looks.) You can make perfectly good
milk drinks with any moka pot and a stovetop steamer.
