  • Sunbeam 6910 UPGRADITIS

    Hello fellow CSs

    after owning my 6910 for a few months i feel its time for an upgrade
    My heart has always been set on the Rancilio Sylvia V3 with Rocky Combo

    but after reading numerous threads and making a few phone calls

    the Lelit PL041EM / K3 looks be a better alternative for similar money

    btw

    Im mainly a MILK based drinkers and would rarely make more than 3 at a time if friends come over

    I do prefer the rocker switches , ball arm & 58mm head on the Sylvia

    but would like everyones opinian

    many thanks in advance

    Hi Hung,

    You might also consider the GEE machine with a K3- See http://coffeesnobs.com.au/YaBB.pl?num=1163933911/14#14 for further details.

    Cheers

    Chris

      Hi again Hung

      By all means, check out the Lelit, then come and see the GEE in action. I think when you see its functionality you might want to either stretch your budget or hang on to the sunbeam a little while longer till you can afford what I believe would be a significant upgrade.

      Cheers

            I purchased silvia + rocky doserless ~ 2 weeks ago, love it! Only trouble is trying to get a good shot through its single basket... that and the mrs is having a moan because she struggles with her...

              TJW you should use the double basket, you will get a better shot with ease

                  grab your single basket and put it in the cupboard and forget about it, use your double basket much much better and will get consistent great shots. if you can pick up seom Synesso baskets they are even better.

                  keep temp surfing, and experimenting and you will work it out soon enough and be getting great shots from this great machine!!

                  enjoy the journey and may ungraditis not strike too soon. ;D ;D

                    Ok

                    I went down to Jetblack espresso with Wife and 2 kids in tow
                    looking to get my new Silvia and K3

                    after speaking to the lovely Harriet at jetblack espresso she asked me questions about my coffees etc

                    she then explained to me the differences between the rocky/k3, letits etc

                    and she also made a latte with the machines I was looking at for me also - was yummy btw

                    i walked home with a Lelit Combi

                    got home set it up

                    I was was either very lucky as I managed to pull off a decent shot
                    straight off the bat and made myself a beautiful cappa ( imo anyways )

                    so one happy camper here

                        Did you really just say "expresso"?

                        Haha. Harriet was really helpful for me too. Youll find your Lelit more and more enjoyable over time Im sure

                            Thats a bit rough...  How about every 1 in 4  

                            Plus a formal apology to Jetblack Espresso
