So, I have tried a rare experiment. I sold my Expobar Minore 2, that I'd had for 9 years, but which was getting long in the tooth, and stepped down to a Breville DB instead.
Yes, un-upgraditis!!!
I thought i'd briefly share my experience.
Firstly, I found the coffee great from the breville. I loved the fast heat-up time. I loved the shot timer. The steam was a bit slower than I was accustomed to, but it all worked well.
But....seeing it in the corner of my kitchen never made me smile. It had no character, less ritual.
After 5 months of ownership, I sold it on to a friend, replacing it with a second hand Bezzera Galatea Domus, rotary pump, from a fellow CS member.
It also works well. Very well.And it does it with style. And it makes me smile every time I walk in the kitchen, even if I'm not about to make a coffee.
