Hi all. New member here. Looks like a great site. I’m hoping to get any necessary pointers from people who’ve been here before.
I've been happily experimenting with my Breville BES920 for the past nearly 7 years. We replaced the pump 2 years ago and now the heat valve has blown. Long story short, we’ve decided to not drop any more cash on this machine and update instead. I’m driving to Sydney from Canberra early tomorrow morning to do a trade in. It’s looking like I’ll be grabbing a Quickmill Rubino, unless I can be convinced that there is something better at that price point. From what I can see, there isn’t a whole lot of info around about these machines. It seems that it’s closest competitor is the Rocket Apartmento. As far as I can tell, they are basically the same as each other, but the Quickmill seems to be slightly better spec’d at a better price.
questions:
1. Are there any other machines I should be looking at in this area? - up to $2,500, e61, HX or dual boiler
2. given I’m coming from a breville dual boiler style to (most likely) an HX style machine, is there anything that stands out that I should be aware of?
3. any other hints, tips or advice you guys might think worth pointing out?
thanks in advance if you’ve read this far.
Happy Sunday
