Damn, upgradeitis is starting up again.
Im starting to think the Zaffiro, as I like the thermal stability of it and the possibility of a PID mod to improve on an already good product.
While I love a cappuccino in the morning, Im really looking for that great espresso. Ive had good results with the Classic, but just cant get rid of the sour note. Ive tried shots from commercial machines and, while it is hard to describe the exact taste, they seem to possess a uniformity in taste, not bitter and not sour. They tasted rather full and complex. Now Im thinking about what life would be like if I could take my beans of choice and subject them to similar brewing conditions.
Ive seen Zaffiros advertised for AUD$1600. Is there anywhere in Brisbane that sells them? Im just putting out the feelers at the moment, as it will be a difficult task to convince the powers that be that my recently purchased "new" machine may need to find a new home.
Another question of Zaffiro owners is how fast does it get up to steaming temperature? It seems the US machines are quite slow, but the European ones arent quite so bad.
