Hey everyone, been searching your rants for a while now
I have a little deliema
I am in the market for a new espresso machine. I made the mistake of buying the delonghi E540, just because it is from a local store. In Newfoundland, Canada not much is local for espresso machines. I want a reliable semi-automatic, that will last as long as possible, provide good results but still fit in my kitchen. I love coffee, I grow my own darn coffee plants. My budget is about 1000$. I have a cheap burr grinder (50$ mistake), and a manual grinder (wrist killer for the frequency I use it) Wife thinks I am pleasing myself in the shower too often when all I am doing is grinding coffee for an hour a day.
Realistically I should get the rocky silvia combo...But, I love the look of the ECM Giotto, Expobar Lever/pulser/control.
What besides the price makes the Expobar machines better than the Sylvia?
Should I get the ECM and trade in the wedding ring on it, since I may not need it after spending 1590$, and get a grinder later?
Soooo in Canadian dollars here silvia rocky combo 910$
Expobar pulsar rocky for 1070
ECM Giotto and a little wait for the grinder for 1590$
I can budget all three of the above
thanks for any imput
the people of this website seem fantastic to the bulk of misinformation I read elsewhere, thanks in advance
