If thermoblocks are any good, will they be the answer to cheaper better machines?
I haven't seen any reviews of this yet but for $750, it's a lot of espresso machine but the cost saving seems to come from throwing away the boilers adn using separate thermoblocks for steam and brewing. The steam one is a fairly basic unit but the brewing one is rumoured to have a reservoir. There's a sort of PiD controlling temperature but it's a bit worrying to see 107°C on the display in the manufacturer's photograph. In theory, a thermoblock should be easier to control precisely than a half litre reservoir.
But has anyone tried one or tasted the results???
