I have been away from this forum caught up other stuff for some time and have been enjoying my ECM Sync and Titan64 ever since (recently added flow control to the Sync). But finally the upgrade bug has found me and I have been considering options and am getting close to falling victim to analysis paralysis so was hoping some of the members might be able to share their thoughts and opinions on the below or even other options I have yet to consider please?
1. Slayer 1 Group - So like a lot of coffee fans this has long been my holy grail. I have extremely fond memories of coffee's enjoyed at Mel CBD locations such as League of Honest where I tasted berry notes in blends like Padre's Seasonal that I simply could not get out of my ECM no matter what I tried. I do have a couple of concerns beyond price with this option with one being reliability (I have read older version have had some issues but would love to hear from recent Slayer buyers) and the other being the lack of a water tank. My ECM is plumbed and this would be too but life decisions may well have us in a rental and unlikely be able to plumb for a term, I have a backup machine that we would revert too so thus the reason its still in consideration.
2. Rocket R91 - With the black sided options, this machine looks great. I love the functionality of this machine and I have read the threads from happy owners here. It also has the water tank option and is slightly more budget friendly.
3. San Remo You - Another great looking machine. Checked it out and saw it in action at MICE this year and it certainly appeared to be full featured and a strong performer. Any owners as yet that care to share an early view? Has all the functions of R91 it seems and seems to be just under 10k. I see the Oct stock has gone and its now Nov but maybe its worth the wait?
In terms of a grinder, I am leaning towards a change to single dose and likely a Niche or failing that Eureka Mignon Oro SD.
Cheers,
Nick
