Hi All,
I had all but decided on purchasing a Silvia, which seems to have a solid reputation until I saw this clip on youtube which tests the speed of 5 machines each making 4 lattes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KUlocRydXw
This has put me off a bit, and I have started researching more expensive machines, and also looking at second hand options.
I dont quite understand what enables a machine to pour a shot and steam continuously, but am guessing its the size of the boiler, or having independent/dual boilers.
I notice there are a few cheap machines with E61 type group heads which look the part, but are also quite slow... (low end ISOMACs.. etc)
Does anyone have comments about the Silvia workflow, and what attributes/features/components I should be looking for?
