    Ask TG... I am sure he will tell you that the EM6910 can do great coffee But the Expobarwill be around for much longer and allow finer tweaking and less maintenance issues...
    Spot on AM.

    The 6910 can make a great coffee but the Expobar can make a better one.
    As far as longevity, the Expobar wins hands down.

      Thirdly, why would you ask Bassett to be one of the judges when the machine he designed was one of those tested?
      You know what hes going to say and the other 3 guys were put under pressure to pick his machine too.
      Call me cynical, but Id say the answer to this one is that the section was little more than a paid advertorial.

      Was interesting that when the longevity of the Sunbeam was questioned, the response was not its built to last but rather a fib that it has a long warranty. An admission from the machines designer that it will not last five years without incident? :-?

        Re: Sunbeam 6910 vs Breville BES 680

        I have a friend at work who owns a Breville BES680, and he finds it to be a good machine and recommended it to me recently as I am looking for a new machine to upgrade my Saeco Via Venezia.

        He had the same issue finding reviews, and he purchased it about 6 months ago. Im not sure how much of a coffee snob he is, but I have gone on a professional training course with him since the purchase at Lavazza, so he should know what hes doing I did point out the potential problems as maheel and Koffee Kosmo have said being that if the machine breaks you are without grinder and espresso machine. Also, if you look at reviews of the Rancilio Miss Lucy/Lelit combi you can find a few other things to be careful of in this type of combo machine.

        Hope this helps, but Im personally going with the EM6910 and EM0480 as my upgrade, as I prefer the separate machines and there is more info on looking after it to keep it working well

          II did point out the potential problems as maheel and Koffee Kosmo have said being that if the machine breaks you are without grinder and espresso machine.  
          That being said, if your grinder breaks then are you going to be happy getting your beans pre-ground?

          The quality machines when looked after have very few problems, Im not sure that I would put the Breville in the same class but a Lucy or Lelit Combi from a CS Sponsor I would call a quality machine.

              Just got myself a GPP and K3 8-)

              did my apprenticeship with a Lucy and had no problems with it in the 6 or so years I have had it, as you would expect 8-)
