This started because I enquired about a manual machine in the workplace and it was starting to get off topic so I thought I would open a new topic for the experts.
I used to have a Saeco automatic years ago and thought it was great until I moved to a VBM super-lever (from a site sponser of course) a few years ago. Now I want a machine for work in a small office, funded by me not work so obviously price is an issue but either way i am not going to buy rubbish.
The general consensus is that a manual machine may not be the best way to go in this environment given the complexity of getting good coffee from them (Took me about 8 months to get consistently good coffee) but my experience with automatics was average coffee, this was some 8 years ago and perhaps automatic technology has changed since then.
I would like to get peoples opinions on Auto verses manual in this environment not a discussion on auto verses manual in general as I bet that has already been beaten to death before.
If I was to go manual I probably would not consider anything other than an E61 model but i have no idea on autos, what is a good automatic machine for a small office that still produces good coffee.
