In my travels for a breadmaker, I came across the Sunbeams Em6900 and 6910. Myer was selling the 6900 for $500, while the latter was $700.
I cast my one-eyed Silvia eye over them, to see what the fuss in this forum was all about. Id not seen them before today and was curious to say the least.
I liked the sold look, especially as exemplified by the steam and hot water wands.
I liked the visible water level ---Rancilio, take note.
I liked the cup warming area, and -- I think, from memory -- the flip-top reservoir lid behind it.
I did not like the portafilter, or the group. Im ready to stand corrected, but the portafilter seemed lightweight in comparison to the commercial Silvia, and so did the group.
My at-a-glance observations. Though admittedl,y my mind was really swimming with bread makers at the time.
