What brand of espresso machine do you own?

[Yelta]

Thanks for your patience people and apologies for any confusion with the first version of this poll.
What seemed like a simple exercise quickly turned into a bit of a monster, I now know that once polls have been set up and votes cast you cant change the list without messing up the votes already cast.
Ive double checked this list, all seems ok, and have included all machine brand names suggested, my apologies if Ive left a manufacturer out.
Lets hope this effort goes a little more smoothly. :

I just voted.

Its a super long list, it will be interesting to see how it averages out over a period of time.

Voted. Thanks for putting the poll up Jon. I dont see any manufacturers left out from what i see.
Perhaps over time another poll for roasters can be held?

Thanks Gary, its been an interesting exercise.
Not sure but Ive a feeling roasters has been done, will do a search.
Im contemplating grinders for the next one, will make sure I have compiled a complete list of brand names before I start another one.

Pardon my ignorance Dennis, how does an ECM Veneziano S1 differ from an ECM/Rocket?

Looking at the list we have, La Nuova, Nuova and Nuova Simonelli, none have yet received any votes, Im wondering if there is duplication here? if so now is the time to rectify it, once there are votes against the names were stuck with them, any thoughts? :-/

Re: What brand of espresso machine do you own?

I did mention it in the last thread to drop Nouva. the other two are seperate brands, it might just be safer to change the poll option to blank rather than delete it?

Thanks BF, must have missed your comment, maybe best to leave sleeping dogs lay rather than risk stuffing the whole thing again, doubt leaving it there will affect the result.

No surprises on the rocket, vibiemmes and rancilio topping the list... looks like the giottos and silvias are extremely popular amongst CS-ers. One that suprises me... Izzo?
