    Thanks so much for all the feedback guys, its been really helpful. Its so good to know such a good resource is at your fingertips when you need it. There is no way I can get a $2500 + machine past the financial manager, but for the moment, I think my fears have been addressed enough for a Pav. As TalkCoffee pointed out, I believe my Perfetta is a great machine, and makes supburb coffee, but I'm gonna give the levers a go. (Maybe while I choose my first HX machine).

    Still interested in hearing stories about making a hand full of milk based drinks on a Pavoni or Electra if anyone has some.

      A Pavoni Pro to arrive for me any day now. I will be keeping my Saeco VV in the cupboard for occasions of visiting people. Really, 97.3% of he time we need double shots X1 or 2. So for that much, sorry friends and family, but only I shall supp from the lever when you visit. For you, I will do my best with the pressurised PF.

      (Unless you are very patient.)

      Keep Perfetta. Get Pavoni for your amusement!

      I am short and weak, and have no trouble with lever.

        Well, my Pavoni Stradivari arrived today. I think many people will be interested in how it compares to the Diadema Perfetta, I've also owned a Sunbeam EM6910 so I might create a second thread and share my experiences and comparisons.

        At first glance, as Chris pointed out, the Perfetta seems to be a better machine. I'll hold out from judging completely for a few months, but the build quality etc on the Perfetta seems to be far superior to the Stradivari.

        The feeling of a lack of quality I think is due to plastic being used for the drip try, underside of the base, and the sight glass protector. Not to mention the wooden handles look and feel like compressed wood with a laminate cover.

        Still, pulling the first shot was a pleasure, and I can see I'm going to have fun over the next few months learning the ins and outs of my new toy.

        Cheers.
