I have a Sunbeam EM6910 at home with a Rocky grinder and when I volunteer my services at the churchs cafe, they have a Vibiemme 3 group head machine with a Mazzer grinder. Aside from the steaming capabilities of that HX machine, the Sunbeam can make me a pretty satisfying cup of coffee every morning. Ive spent many hours on the Vibiemme now and honestly cant see why I should upgrade my Sunbeam at home just for the sake of better milk steaming capability.
So Ive shelved my plans on upgrading the Sunbeam. Its really been quite a cost effective machine that is easy to use and makes a pretty decent coffee.
I am finding that incredibly ironic that I would consider splurging a couple of grand to upgrade to a really bling Italian made HX machine for home use yet baulk at the thought of spending a couple of extra dollars to upgrade from the 2 litre Coles Homebrand milk to a nicer brand of milk.
So since I cant see the point in upgrading from the $2.75 2 litre bottle of milk to the $4.90 2 litre bottle of milk, whats the point in upgrading from a $600 Sunbeam to a $2.5K Vibiemme E61 HX machine? ;D
:P
