well its finaly become to much of a struggle to resist, its time to get a coffee machine worthy of keeping me fed with quality espresso`s / latte`s, cappa`s ive come to love... so in a nutshell , which would u go wiyj in this price bracket?
i allways just assumed id be more than happy with a miss silvia, but the more i look the more other machines draw me (....
So if i had to narrow it down atm it would be probably iether the silvia, or maybe a step up to the NS oscar, or if i could be convinced its worth it possibly even the zaffiro,
Thing thats begun to worry me a bit is the more ive read the more the price seems to go up :/,, biggest worry is seeing that vibration pump machines are only expected to last 4-5 years???.. although im not sure if replacement pumps are cheap and readily available, as opposed to replacing the whole machine... but then that leaves the only option of a rotary pump machine,, and thats just to far out my price bracket ;0(
Main uses are personal.. i dont really entertain dinner parties.... so the machine will be feeding just me and occasionaly my wife (although i expect her consumption to go up considerably once the revalation of what a truly good espresso machine/grinder can produce... lol )
I do like milk based drinks but im not hugely botherd about a small wait for the steam to build on the single boiler machines...... im happy to get either boiler or HX machine purely based on whats the better built/better coffe/better value..
so please let me know what u would go with for the monry ive got to spend.. and please feel free to throw in any other choices not on my short list
thnx in advance for any help....
