I believe Volt Espresso In Auckland New Zealand (used to also in Aus Maybe?) has the La Goretti Apollo in stock. They look great for the price. Similar features and operation to slayer or GS3 from what I can gather. I havent tried out yet but I plan to as im in the market for something like this (not for the looks...I think it's ugly) so when lokdown ends i might be heading to volt headquarters and giving one a try.

johnthepom0 Yes, Slayer V1 & V2 had serious issues in the group, brew path and boiler, resulting in an optional 'buy back' offer of V1 & V2 commercial machines; see https://dailycoffeenews.com/2015/08/...de-in-program/ . Only a genuine company would do anything like this. That was a long time ago, now is very different. Have a read of the review in Home Barista. Although I have a Speedster on my kitchen bench, either the Slayer, or R9, would be most welcome bench mates.

I have a slayer. Absolutely love it. A lot of the issues were with the early models. Mine has been faultless and makes me smile every morning.
Considered the R9 and speedster but the looks just weren’t for me.

Thanks on one of other posts re R9 one and GS3 there were some fairly negative comments about slayer so didn’t have it on my list😟

Slayer 1grp? I've had plenty of brews from one, as well as the R9, both fabulous. Also a play with DE... but it doesn't make the cut for me.

Good luck, - sounds like too much choice!
If you are interested in levers - There is a good thread on Izzo Leva's in this section with lots of information
Cheers

Yes, I'd be tempted into buying a Lever machine: an Izzo Valexia or Alex Leva which you might be able to inspect at sponsor Casa Espresso or elsewhere, covid restrictions willing. The Profitec Pro 800 is also worth a look.
Still, I don't think you can go wrong with the Rocket nine one if you have that amount of folding material burning a hole in your pocket.

I'm sure there would be. I'd use the quote form at the bottom of every page to put feelers out to all site sponsors, and whoever does will respond.

Same same, I'm looking to upgrade our Rocket Giotto V3 PID to a shiny new Rocket rotary.Originally posted by johnthepom0 View PostI've got Lockdown upgraditis in Melbourne.
We live in an apartment in Southbank that won't allow any visitors so no chance of advertising it.
Are there any dealers in Melbourne that offer a trade-in service?
Thanks if you can help!

Thanks pretzal, sure it’s a great machine but not suitable for where my coffee station is.

Check out their Facebook page for contact details. I think you would be better off contacting them direct, doubt they have a distributor yet. They also have an Instagram page.
