You were expecting something with an eagle on top?

Ok some more info is:

Faema group
3L internal tank
PID with display concealed behind drip tray
3.x L boiler

Interesting. Vibe or rotary pump? Plumb function? Dipper group or HX?

I was hoping for some differentiation.
We now have the following square boxes with a lever mounted on the front of it:
Profitec
L1
Quick Mill
Strega
Alex Leva
etc.....

They all look the same, so how will they compete??? on price???

LM can make the same product, stick their logo on it, and own the market, even with a higher price tag. Why? Because they know a thing or two about sales and marketing.

PID with display concealed behind drip tray

??...interesting approach ?
why would they want to deliberately conceal the display ?

Jetblack is the importer - any idea when a first hands on review will be up?

(Psst - you didn't include the Bosco Lever in your list. )

I agree - I wouldn't mind seeing something different. Even the retro look (e.g. Faema Urania) The Izzo Pompeii was a step in that direction but the Ambient Ventus was a bit too "out there" for my tastes.

Function is a bit more important than form for me but I would be interested in colour panel options. I guess we will have to wait and see.

(The Bosco is a bigger square box, but does come with options of colours and finishes)

These machines are quite pricey, and aimed at a niche market.
Judging by how popular vintage machines are, there is a market that seeks something different from a SS box.
