Hi, seeking ideas on 10 amp 2 group new (or near new) machine please.
This machine would handle ~6-12 fundraising events per annum of 300 coffees per session (all doubles, 97% milk-based). Intense back to back shots + concurrent steaming for 1.5 hrs, then variable either side.
Would prefer 2 steam arms.
Would prefer machine could handle full load on all outputs - ie both groups and both steam arms, for that 1.5 hour period. Minimum handling 2 groups + 1 steam arm concurrently.
Reliability critical.
No flexibility on ampage: 10 it has to be.
Would love E61s.
(I could then rely on my amazingly durable/reliable VBM Super Lever as matched backup, which has been carrying the bulk of this load 2-3 times a year!)
Its never used for cafe service in between.
Ive only googled a few so far that I think may take the load and meet some of my personal preferences: - Wega Nova EVD 2 Group
- Expobar Ruggero High 2 Group Compact.
Others on the list Ive quickly scouted out specs for but lower in personal preference (in no order) are:
- Expobar Megacrem 2 High Group Compact
- Expobar Megacrem 2 Group Compact
- Expobar Elegance 2 Group Compact
- ? Expobar Elegance 2 Group - specs may have had a typo as I think its probably a 15 amp?
- Fiamma Atlantic Compact 2 Group
What have I missed?
Comments from anyone whos worked on any of these machines or others that fit the basic outline?
It will be lovingly cared for, but will need to survive road trips.
Thanks everyone.
