Gday Im thinking of buying a cap. machine and was wanting peoples opinions on Sunbeam EM 4800 vs EM 3800. I havent been able to get many reviews on which would be best. This will be my first machine so I know that practice makes perfect. :
I dont think it really matters - I think they are the same inside. The "polish" of the 4800 is a little better - compare them yourself - the 4800C has a better drip tray and a nicer, solid brass group handle.
Neither of them great machines, but Ive had fun with my 4800C.
The 4800 is a little easier to drive, but has more that can break down.
To get good results out of either will require a half-decent grinder (eg EM0450/0480), fresh beans, non-pressurised filters, practice and patience, but with those ingredients youll have a pretty good combo.
