Hey guys,
Its been a long while since I posted on here. Too many hobbies and too many forums that I frequent and too little time. Im sure you all understand.
Anyway the time will be coming when I will be upgrading my coffee machine. Sooner rather than later I hope. At the moment I have a $100 sunbeam but it does have a boiler which is why I bought it. I had hoped on upgrading to a silvia with rocky. Mr Rudd has been instrumental and will help me realising that dream.
I noticed today another machine in the same price range though and that is the La cimbali domus classic. From what I have found the boiler is just under 500ml which is of course a substantial amount larger than silvias which brings to light the obvious question. Is this machine going to be more stable than the silvia? The other thing I noticed is that it doesnt use a commercial porta filter. Does anyone know if the machine will take a commercial one if I buy one?
The other question I have is of build quality. I had previously looked at some cheaper machines but they use silicon piping etc. Silvia is all brass and copper so is the cimbalis boiler brass or copper and are all the internals solid?
The most important question though is how does the machine perform?
To summarise the things that are important to me are
Temperature stability
Machine has a good boiler
quality of build. Will it last for years to come?
58mm portafilter also will commercial ones and their baskets fit?
Any comments people?
Thanks
Justin
