Hi coffee experts.
I used to be a member here back in the olden days, before Andy bought it!... hand roasting in the back yard with $6 kilo green beans, a collander, a $20 heat gun and 3 pairs of gloves :-)
Anyway, life got in the way, and I'm just coming back to home coffee again.
Rather than starting small, I'm going to invest in something significant, and I'm tossing up between two machines, and I'd really love some expert advice (from people who aren't trying to sell me either machine)... I'd also like to know a bit more before I walk into the showrooms.
ECM Barista Vs Cuadra by La nuova era. Price wise, it will cost me almost the same, so $$ is not a discriminator. I'm buying local, and we have two main machine shops in Perth (unless I'm missing something)
I've heard more about ECM, but all of the reviews I read say great things about the cuadra? how to choose?
I want to be able to:
1. turn it on in the morning, and have it ready to go when I've had my shower and dressed for the day.
2. Want to be able to make espresso, and froth milk without a massive fuss in between
3. Want to know its going to last, and wont be horrendous to repair.
What do you guys and girls think?
