Hi all,
Theres two Boema Espresso machines coming up at an Auction, for which I will have a few hours to inspect soon. Apart from that I dont know anything about them yet.
Any Boema would be good to cure my upgraditis since Ive come to the limit of my Breville, and Im happy to put in a small amount of time servicing and changing seals, etc (Im capable at taking apart and making small mods, with some electronics experience, but dont want to completely rebuild the thing).
I dont expect an evaluation since I dont even know what the machine is yet, but my question is this: what should I look for, given Ill have a few hours to inspect it and probably wont have the chance to turn it on (although I may be able to twist an arm there if I smile nicely).
Also, to bring the wife on-side, what can I tell her about Boema usability and lifetime? Will one of these machines last "forever" (if serviced & cleaned)? She is quite happy with the Breville quality, so she wont be won over by the promise of better tasting coffee until she actually tastes it
I really appreciate any quick help from the snobs!
thanks,
Iain.

I expected it to be better, which is why I dont want to pass up the opportunity to get a Bo-Ema IF all factors are good!
