Howdy All,
Forever lurker, new poster. I have just been given the nod from the ol' minister of finance to modernise our daily driver.
Currently have a pre-millennium IMAT Nepoletana (think Lelit Anita) which is really starting to show her age and as such looking to modernise.
I have have narrowed my search down and have somewhat settled on ECM Casa V or the Quickmill Pippa. I am chasing any users thoughts, feeling, emotions or experience with either machine to help sway the decision. Though open to other recommendations.
Usage
Double long black and double flat white in the morning
Repeated on weekends with a second round early arvo.
Minimal mass entertaining.
Needs
Small kitchen so bench space (width and depth) is at a premium.
Sigle boiler preferred (non-e61) for shorter warmup (suits my usages pattern). Don't mind waiting for steam.
Grinder accounted for, Eureka Specialita.
My thoughts/questions:
Narrowed to these two because i like the aesthetics (vain, in know).
Leaning ECM mainly due to the narrowest form factor.
Is the 50ml boiler size (ECM 400ml vs Pippa 450ml) going to be a noticeable difference (i.e. steaming/temp stability)? I'm sure both will feel fine when compared to current 250ml in the IMAT.
Self maintenance and ongoing accessibility of parts? Has anyone had a good look round the internals?
Machine longevity?
A push one way or the other, or a whole other tangent would be appreciated
