  • Isomac machines

    Hi CS members

    I am a new member and would like some help in selecting a new machine. I previously owned a Spidem fully auto which has since died. I am now ready to step up to a real machine and have spied the Isomac range. Does anyone have thoughts/ experiences with this brand of coffee machine? Also need advice on an acceptable grinder. Budget approx $1500.

    Thanks for your comments.

    Welcome to Coffee Snobs Lofty.

    Im no expert on Isomacs so Ill start by suggesting you talk to the site sponsors.
    Theyll look after you.

    Which state are you in so we can recommend the nearest ones?

      May I also suggest you put your grinder way above the machine in terms of priority?

        Maybe a sponser or someone with direct experience could post their thoughts, pros/cons on these machines. I would also very interested to to know more. Would I be right in saying that the Isomac Venus is similar to the Silvia except that it has a bigger boiler and retails for somewhere around the $1000 mark?

        There is a lot of good information on this thread http://coffeesnobs.com.au/YaBB.pl?num=1191914230/0

          Hi Lofty,

          Might I suggest that you may wish to short list the Vibiemme Domobar Levetta (Vashetta) as well?

          Pricing is good and its a very impressive performer.

          As others have mentioned, put aside a minimum of $300 (preferably more) for a suitable grinder and always use good fresh beans

          Good luck in your search.

          Chris
