Hello CS Readers.
I am going through that process of trying to find a new E-61 Machine and have arived at a little road block. I am really impressed with the Giotto machines, love their form, function, size. I reckon my wife could even be trained at using one (without burning milk all the way up the steam wand ahh). My problem comes when looking at the two products side by side. The specs are clear - Evoluzione gets a few extra goodies like rotary pump, cool extra brewing guage, provision for plumbed in (more??). However there is a real jump in price to get to the Evoluzione model - and if I had unlimted finacial freedom to set up a really great coffee station on my bench, then I would definaltey be buying the Evo.
But what I really want to know is.. in decending order of importance
1) Is the extra coin worth it?
2) Does this tranlate into a better coffee taste / experience
The next two questions are a little topical given that I have just read the post relating to "importing coffee machine" - but PLEASE dont take this as being my intention.
3) What extra work is done on the PP and Evoluzione in Australia to make them comply to local design rules
4) Why is the price difference between the PP and Evoluzione higher here in Aus, than overseas (Italy-USA-Germany). Again its not my intention to grey import - I just want to understand. Is there additional work on the Evoluzione once imported?
OK, I would really appreciate some help here, so feel free to commment
Thanks very much.
