Hi guys and gals
I have been a long term lurker here but this is my first post. My Isomac Zaffira was leaking so I sent it in for a quote. $800 - $900, nearly floored me. Apparently it has small pinprick holes in the boiler which needs to be replaced @$450 + numerous gaskets + labour. I can buy a new one for $1600 or get the old one fixed for about half the price. Thing is if I go the latter who knows what may be just around the corner in terms of more repairs. So really I guess my question to the many knowledgeable people on this forum is, if I decide to buy a new machine is there anything in the $1600 ball park that would be better than my Zaffiro. I never add milk to coffee so don't need a double boiler and it has to be said that I do love, and am used to, my Zaffiro. Any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated - I don't know for how long I can make do with a stove top espresso maker. Thanks in advance.
