Re: Which Machine-very new
Rich,
Youre spot on. As someone who owns both a superauto (Gaggia Syncrony) and a decent manual machine (Brasilia Lady), Ill confirm that theres no competition between the two. If all youve ever tried is a superauto, then it seems very good, but once youve tried using a Sylvia type machine, the stuff that comes out of the superauto is like dishwater - thin, pale and a yellow crema that dissipates in 20 secs, and no amount of playing with the grind fineness and dosage settings makes it much better. Having said that, the Syncrony is very convenient, but we find ourselves using it less and less nowadays. (Not to mention that its currently in for its 4th repair in a year). If I were starting again today, Id definately look at spending the funds on something like an Expobar HX machine and decent grinder.
Regards,
Phil
