I'm on the hunt for a machine for my husband who has been using our Krups machine for over 10 years.
He's a cappuccino drinker, doesn't grind his own (yes I know that is key in the perfect shot but he is more than happy with what he drinks), and his biggest complaint is how long his machine takes.
So either a double boiler machine or I was looking at the Quickmill Cassiopea due to its ability to steam at the same time as doing the espresso.
BUT, I am being swayed by the aesthetics of the Quickmill Eliane, not to mention the e61 group head. Plus I was going to get him a grinder in case the coffee bug really hits. The downside of the Eliane is the time it takes to steam (I think.. it is hard finding a review on the Eliane as most seem to be on the upgraded version the Alexia).
He drinks one cappuccino a day from it during the week, maybe 2 on a weekend and we don't have visitors all the time so making multiple coffees isn't an issue - is the Elaine the right choice?
