Hi there Coffee Snobs
Just came across this site the other night.
Anyhow, it is approaching time for me to purchase a new machine, as my old breville $100 jobbie finally gave and joined the Big Bean Posse.
After a bit of research, I have come down to the rancilio silvia and imat mokita.
Now, I only have a $50 sunbeam grinder, SO....
Do I get the Silvia and put up with inconsistant grinds from my grinder or get my local roaster to grind for me until i can afford a rocky or something,
or...
do i save $250 or so and get a mokita, or even spend a bit more and get the version of the mokita with the grinder built in?? This is around the same money as the silvia.
Also, what is this i hear about a wait time between pouring coffee and frothing milk with the silvia? Is the mokita the same? Even my breville didnt have that problem! What sort of wait time is there? And is it tru the silvia wont fit a latte cup under the group head? Will the mokita? are there any machines that do fit a cup or decent sized mug?
Thanks for the help guys
