Re: Beginner wanting to upgrade
Thanks for your "contribution" Gary. :
Firstly- A review of an "evaluation unit" does not a review make.
Secondly- Regurgitating said review does not achieve anything whatsoever. These go to testers so that manufacturers can refine their product.
If you have first hand experience with the machine, please enlighten us. If not, perhaps get some and write from an educated viewpoint rather than parroting that of a stranger.
Although a tad rough around the edges, the GEE has no competitor until you hit HX territory and for the milk coffee drinker on a budget, it should be short listed.
The GEE outperforms a non PID Silvia and the reviewer clearly didnt use it well or received a defective machine. You can go straight from shot to steam so long as you preheat the thermoblock. No single boiler machine will do this.
The OP may choose to come and make his/her own evaluation and thats fine, however I am tired of self-appointed internet experts bad mouthing gear they havent even seen. If it was rubbish, it would not be on range.
My GEE v any standard Silvia, or better still, you and your PID one if youre game- any time...
