The story so far...
I have an old Faema, the same as the one in this thread just cream coloured. However it needs some repair work and Id rather spend the money on a new machine at this stage - http://coffeesnobs.com.au/YaBB.pl?num=1130542649
My initial budget was $1500 for a machine and grinder, however I dont want to regret my purchase, so Im considering adding an extra $1000.
Ive read reviews of the Silvia + Rocky combo and initially had my heart set on that, however Im now looking at the Piccolo. Will the Rocky grinder do the machine justice or am I best off looking at something else.
Id love to hear from those who have moved from a Silvia upward to something in the same league as the Piccolo. Did the extra $1000 or so on the price tag translate to better coffee?
Am I stupid for considering spending $2000-2500 on what is essentially a first coffee machine and grinder?
