Hi fellow snobbers. I dont normally like these types of threads but now find myself starting one!
I have the opportunity to buy a used commercial machine that has been used in a small office and appears, from photos, to be in pretty good condition.
The current owner has no idea about the details but I believe it’s a Rancilio Z11 Omicron. A former employee there, who was also a barista, talked them into buying it.
They’re asking $550.
My intended use would be strictly for entertaining. It’s more of a ‘want’ than a ‘need’. The price seems good to me but I guess there’s always the fear of pricey repairs.
Anyone have experience/opinions of these machines?
