We've just built and while we have a coffee "station" area with its own sink and recessed/fairly high overhead cabinetry we don't have a set up for plumbing it in. We have a whole house water filter for the new house but I am open to running separate/additional filtration/softening if that will improve the life.
The Isomac Pro PID (hx) appears to have a rotary pump and a copper boiler (which I'm told offers some advantages in Perth) but when it comes to online reviews....crickets. I'm wondering if there's a reason for that, and I am particularly interested in how it stands up reliability wise compared to ECM/Profitec and others in this price range.
We have a mazzer mini-E grinder that is still doing the job.
Can anyone offer any insights into any of these machines or any others in the approx $3-4k mark)? I don't really have a massive amount of cash to splash at this point but cost per use is tiny so I want to do it properly. Thank you
