Hi guys, long time no post I know, but Im back with a question 
I work in a small office -- around 6 coffee drinkers, maybe pulling 2-4 coffees each a day. Weve been using a Saeco super-auto for about the last four years, and Ive been happy enough with that (for milk drinks, anyway), but it just doesnt seem to be handling the workload any more, and is off for repairs every 3-4 months. So, instead of continuing to throw good money after bad, I think its time to look are replacements.
A new super-auto is probably the easiest option -- do any site sponsors in Melbourne sell and service them?
Alternatively, can anyone share experiences theyve had running a more traditional setup in a small office? Im pretty sure I could train the guys here, and Im sure that a separate machine and grinder is both less likely to break down, and easier to fix if needed, than a whizz-bang super-auto.
My budget (assuming I can get one approved!) would be around the $2k mark Id say.
