Hi all,
Have been reading the forums a lot over the last few weeks and am about to make my first real coffee machine purchase, only I have a couple of reservations that I would like to run past those of whom are more experienced than myself.
I am considering the Lelit PL041 but have read/heard that the steam wand leaks when the machine is switched on and even more so when you pull a shot. Have seen the you tube video of it and its scared my other half off from purchasing it with this flaw. My question to those of you that have it or those of you that have similar machines (silvia etc). Is this a real/serious issue for the lelits or is it more wide spread in that it affects other machines too and I should be reasonable and expect this kind of thing from machines in this price range?
At the moment I am finding it a tough sell for the modest price increase over a consumer machine like the em6910. Im happy to pay for quality but Id like to think that Im getting it.
Please Im happy to listen to all feedback,
Pretzal
