Many need to be educated about drop shipping and what I call "box sellers": i.e. their involvement in the machine is limited to picking up the carton, hoping for the best and either loading it into a car or truck for transport. For mine, that simply doesn't cut it.
We will not let any espresso machine leave us without a thorough bench test- regardless of what may happen at the factory/importer. We find that we make adjustments to at least 50% of what passes across our benches. Whilst manufacturers and importers may well run some sort of testing, it all too frequently does not meet our standards.
It's great when a machine tests well, but it's no surprise when one doesn't and we have also rejected machines which passed importer testing but cannot be made to meet our standards. If heartbreak is to occur, I'd much sooner it happen to us and not the client.
It's just another thing to be aware of when you purchase espresso gear.
