Hi Snobs.
I am new around here but have been obsessed by capturing the perfect coffee at home. I have lived with french press, moka pots and for the last 6 years a ECM Giotto. The Giotto needed repairs. I weakened and last week bought the La Cimbali Junior S and Mazzer Mini. All I can say is wow!! These are two solid bits of kit. The steam power is phenomenal. I am still adjusting to life without the E61 machine but my shots are getting better. I think they are now at least the equal of what I could get from the Giotto. The Mazzer is also a wonder. I previously had a Rocky which was great value but I am loving the stepless grinding of the Mazzer.
I now know that if my espresso is below par it must be the beans or me because I sure can not blame the hardware.
