I just picked up a used La Sorrentina atomic, and fired it up for the first time.
It seems very nicely made, and I was really happy with my first homemade 'capuccino'. Everything worked exactly as per the instructions - EXCEPT THE JUG DRIBBLES EVERYWHERE!
The instructions say to use the jug for filling the machine (and boast about how well the jug's spout fits the filler), but I couldn't do it without spilling water everywhere. As I understand it the jug is pretty much just a copy of the original design, but the tiny pourer 'spout' just won't form a proper stream of liquid. Pouring water into the machine and pouring coffee into the cup were both very messy.
Is this normal? Common to the LS machine? Has my jug somehow become disfunctional?!
