Hi I know everyone is sick of which machine to buy but i would love to learn from everyone here. After much forum surfing I realised my paltry budget for my new machine was not going to cut it - I currently have a Krups and totally agree with the notion that the u should really be an A. I recently picked up a Sunbeam EM0480 off the 4sale threads here so i am happy with this as a grinder. Now my wife and i normally only drink lattes but i also enjoy a nice short black every now and then.
I was initially looking at Breville Ikons on ebay but i think this may be short changing myself. I think i need to step up and i am at the SB 6910/Nemox Fenice/Gaggia Classic sort of price range - I cannot justify stepping up to the Silvia as much as i would like to.
After all my research it seems that the Nemox might be the way to go with these machines - I can see that one of the site sponsors sells it at a price less than i could get either of the other machines. Whilst i would love the ability to steam and pour at the same time with the SB i kind of like the idea of having a boiler rather than a thermoblock.
The Nemox machines do not seem all that common and I was wondering if people have had good/bad experiences with them and if i am taking too big a risk getting an uncommon machine. The number of 6910 posts with problems also concerns me a bit.
