Re: Help: Advice on coffee machine for the office
Apologises I havent replied earlier. Took some time off for the long weekend.
Thanks to all those that have commented.
Just some developments - I spoke to the boss about the possibility of a semi-auto machine, to which hes basically gave a flat out no to.
So unfortunately, its full auto.
At present, Im pretty much deciding between the:
- Saeco Touch
- Saeco Royal Cappuccino
- Saeco Royal Professional
Price wise, there doesnt seem to be too much difference (Ive received a few quotes, and theyre all coming in around the $1800~1900 mark). AFAIK, the Royal is the older model, which doesnt have the fancy touch screen, but has the larger capacity tank.
Quick question - what does the Expresso Thermoelectric 20 lt cooler do? as shown here - mod edit- commercial link removed in line with site sales and posting policy
Also - which model would be the more reliable and suited to my needs? (the Touch seems to be very fancy with modern look + fancy touch screen... but it has a smaller water tank (1.8 lt compared to the 2.4 on the Royal) + bean holder (250g compared to 300g on the Royal)). Im not sure what the difference is between the Royal Cappuccino & Professional is.
Another thing - are milk bays worthwhile?
Anything else I should look out for?
