    Why did you decide on these two machines?

      Hi Virgil and welcome...

      For mine, your brief is HX without a doubt.

      If you keep in mind that each time you lift that group handle, youre pulling under 80ml of water from a 1.5L boiler in the expobar, it would take a long time to turn over the boiler contents. I think a HX machine with flash heated, oxygenated fresh water will ultimately deliver a better cup for you. Alternately, flush a heap of water throught the brew boiler each day.

      regards

      Chris

        I dont really like the retro look, this is why the Wega made it to the list and about a dual boiler I think Expobar is the only one in the under 2500 price range. Any other opinions, options? I am still listening, that is why I made the username on CS.

                Im really enjoying the coffee from my new HX--a Diadema Junior EXTRA. Currently on sale(s) around the $2500 mark.

                  I think Chris gave me a very good reason to go for a heat exchanger, and I like the look of Wega, so probably I will contact Di Bartoli, they have a special on the Wega.

                    Certainly are some nice Wega prices at Di Bartoli! Nice time to buy.

                      Hi Virgil
                      The La Scala Butterfly would fit in your price bracket and it has similar specs to the Rocket Giotto but bigger boiler @ 2L. Nearly brought one. Ive seen the butterfly for $2380 or less.

                      As would the Diadema Regal 1.3l But i think they come in at $2550 rrp
                      the 2l version at $2950 rrp
