Hi all,
I have been posting in the other section, but my taste for perfection has ramped up a notch so I have landed here.
I have decided to splurge, but my problem is this.....
I have found a second hand 12 month old ECM Giotto in apparently Great condition for around $1500 with accesories. (knock box, jugs and decent tamper) For my basic 3 a day mainly espresso needs, how would this compare to buying a Brand new Vibiemme Domobar Piccolo for about the same (Di Bartoli here have a good deal with accesories included for about the same money)
What advice what people offer regarding buying second hand expensive machines like this? Is there much that could have or will go wrong outside of warranty period with what seems to be a beast of a unit?
All advice appreciated then Ill stop bugging everyone!
