Hi all,
I've started looking into getting a proper espresso machine setup and I'm tossing up between the Lelit Combi vs Rocky + Silvia setup. Both (bought new) are in my price range; however used Silvia machines pop up more often, so keeping an eye out there.
One thing I haven't been able to determine is which unit is faster in terms of transitioning from pulling a shot to producing steam for milk.
There are heaps of Youtube videos around for the Rocky and some indicate up to 90seconds to start producing steam, whereas a few reviews for the Lelit indicate that the steam is ready to go by the time you get the milk from the fridge and fill the jug - which seems like a big difference!
Is anyone able to confirm rough times?
I do like the idea of a PID Lelit for a bit more temperature stability as I do like espresso and long blacks, but I'm also considering which unit is more efficient in terms of producing milk based drinks.
Thanks!
