Well I have had the machine almost a month now and I love it. I dont have experience with any other type of home machine - only the two-group Boema at the TAFE College - but I could not imagine any single-boiler being better to look at, easier to use or more effective. I think having an adequate grinder obviously removes one set of problems from the equation. It took only three pours using different grinds to find the right one for the beans and after that pretty well perfect pours every time. I enjoyed the Urban Blend beans from Chris and am currently towards the end of the Ethiopian Harrar Longberry from Andy. Both taste great. I cant wait to get into some of the others in the Starter Pack.
The Perfetta makes steam like a coal-fired locomotive and texturing milk is a breeze even for a newbie like me.
I think it is a shame that the maker provides only a crappy little user manual which is written in pidgin English. With Chriss help I have created my own. The only thing I found difficult was getting my head around all the flushing and priming and that was because the manual does not explain anything.
I have been making all sorts of coffee for the family over Christmas and they are sold on it - a bit of a turn-around in opinion about Dads extravagant hobby. The Spouse thinks it is so beautiful it is comparable to a Rolex Cellini watch.
So...every morning tea is an eagerly awaited event. Big tick for the Perfetta.
