Hi Guys and Girls
I'm in the market for a new coffee machine. I currently have an Izzo Alex 2 which I purchase in 2011. Since purchasing the machine the PID has gone (can't read any numbers anymore), the brewhead pressure gauge no longer works (it stopped within the first year), it currently leaks (I have it plumbed) the lever action seems to grind now and it isn't smooth, making me think something has worn within and on top of all that when you cut the flow or do a back flush it doesn't release the pressure from the group head. If you remove the group the pressure escapes and spits water/coffee everywhere.
Taking all the into consideration and after doing some pricing to have the machine repaired I feel I'd be getting close to the $2k mark. So I've decided this machine will be passed onto family and I'll get a new one.
I'm currently looking at the either the Bezzera Strega or Profitec Pro 800 and looking for opinions good or bad for each of these machines.
I should also say I was looking at the La Marzocco Linea Mini .
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers
