Hi All, I was hoping to get some advice/experience on some machines that I think i have narrowed my search down to. My budget is not particulary strict however I think i'd be quite happy with any of the below machines which can be had for between $1500-$1800. I'm really after something that will keep me satisfied for the next 5-7 years or so. There are other HX machines that I've considered up to around the $2200 mark however didn't really feel that they offered anymore on the machines below.
Nuova Simonelli Oscar 2
Timed shots (Useful for the wife)
Average build quality (Admittedly, I haven't seen it in the flesh however being half plastic is less appealing)
Least favourite visually
Diadema Junior PUL
Local sales and service (im in Canberra)
Solid build
Significantly discounted at the moment $$
Bezzera BZ10
Fast heat up
Solid build
My favourite visually
All seem to receive very positive reviews. I'm kind of leaning towards the Bezzera due to the looks and fast heat up, however am wondering about the group compared to the E61.
Does this make any difference to the taste of the shot?
Would it be subject to any more or less frequent repairs?
Would it cost any more or less to repair?
Ben.
