Ive been using my Miss Lucy for about nine years. It has been very reliable and consistently produced quality coffee.
The Lucy has an inbuilt Rocky grinder - whether this configuration is better or worse than a separate grinder is debatable. It looks very attractive in the one package (around 22 kg).
I probably dont adjust my grind as much as I should, sometimes the extraction is too fast.
Steaming on the Lucy is very good - it reaches the right temperature relatively quickly. I think the Lucy can reach espresso temperature more quickly from a cold start than many of the more expensive models.
If I were buying again, Id get a separate grinder - because Im thinking of upgrading (see my separate post) I now need to buy a new grinder as well as the new machine. But then again, perhaps the Rocky would be insufficient for an E61 machine?
Do you think I should keep the Lucy as a second (perhaps work) machine, or sell?
