Espresso Machine in Switzerland

Hi

I've finally decided to invest in a decent home espresso machine and want to go for the Expobar Leva dual boiler machine.

Thing is, I live in Geneva - and I can't find anywhere (online at least) to buy from.

Any suggestions for the best option to buy in Switzerland?

Many thanks

Try these people. Not sure about delivery to Switzerland though :(

Electras (http://www.electras.ch/) sells high quality stuff, but I think the closest location to Genève would be Bern, perhaps the Basel shop. I bought a then-new Olympia Cremina and ECM grinder at the same time at the Bern shop, and they gave me a nice discount.

You might try haunting open markets. Some nice machines can be found. I nearly bought a ridiculously inexpensive Olympia Club at the Vevey market a few years ago, but I really had nowhere to keep such a heavy machine.

Have you tried looking at Ricardo.ch?

As you probably know, the big shops are not worth going into. Everyone seems to want a Nespresso or automatic machine.
