So I was 90% decided on the Isomac Relax, I wrote to the importers, churnbrook, who informed me
"Unfortunately we no longer import the Isomac Relax coffee machine due to
ongoing quality and reliability issues."
Now I'm not so sure. These reliability issues, could be for commercial customers who leave the machine on all day, and make a lot more than the 4 or so shots a day, I would use it for.
It's a tough decision, but an expensive mistake to make. The Expobar Pulser looks like a reasonable alternative, but just doesn't look as good (to me anyway) as the Relax.
I may still consider the Relax anyway, but make sure I can get some good after sales service.
Oh decisions, decisions ....
