Hi,
I am after some advice.
I have a LM GS3 at home and am looking for another machine for my office.
I am considering either another GS3 or a Rocket R60. I have tried to do some research on the R60, but perhaps I am not looking in the right places, so apologies in advance if this has been covered elsewhere (there seems to plenty of youtube reviews, but really looking for direct end user experience).
Here are my questions:
How do people think the R60 compares to the GS3? Do you see the GS3 as a significantly better machine or do people see them in the same class/category? I am really interested to see the response on this question. I have always seen the GS3 as a superior machine, but when you look at the specs of the R60 it is also impressive.
Do people actually use pressure profiling? Or is this feature unlikely to get much use? I understand this will ultimately come down to the user - however there are some features in other machines which sound good in theory, but really never get used in practice.
Would you pay the $2,000 extra for the R60 over the R58 (i.e. do you think it is worth it?).
Finally, a tough question to answer, but what do you think the resale value would be on a R60? My personal view is that they will be a tougher sell without a heavy discount, especially with the R58 being so much cheaper. But again keen to see your point of view.
When I say my office, I don't mean the broader office, just in my office for my own personal use. I understand some of you would recommend other machines, but I am interested in the R60 (for my own reasons) and I am trying to work out whether I stick with LM or go for the R60.
I guess all these questions are really trying to answer the question of "what do fellow Coffee Snobs users think of the R60". I am trying to work out whether it is worth the circa $6,000 retail price tag.
Thanks in advance for your input.
