After a fair bit of research, I am leaning towards the purchase of a Rocket Mozzafiato Chronometro Evoluzione R.
The main alternative shaped up as the ECM Technika V Profi PID. The outsider was the Profitek Pro 600 DB.
I generally make one coffee a day (for me - Long-black) and two on the weekends for Son and me (Long-black and Flat-white). When I have guests (say once a fortnight) , I might do a couple of Flat-whites and a couple of Long-blacks).
My current Diadema Perfetta is a great little machine that I have used for 13 years but I am a bit tired of temp surfing and feel as though I have earned a better machine for the rest of my life.
Priorities are a PID machine, HX (or better) architecture, a quieter Rotary pump (but won't be plumbed) and just generally a quality product that I will enjoy using and looking at.
I love the obvious quality finish of the ECM but the Rocket seems to have a better reliability reputation. I am prepared to spend around $4K on the machine and another $1K on a grinder. Still haven't decided on the Grinder. I want something with a bit of quality but I definitely don't want a doser as I like to grind into a container and then dose into the portafilter.
Is there any reason why the Rocket would not be the best choice?
