Look forward to your report(s), Chris (you lucky bugger!).
BTW, if you decide you dont like them and just want to give them away....nah :-/ , no chance of that with these machines. (Oh well, keep saving, Greg.)
You said look at their "private parts" Chris hehehe.
Youll love em...or will that be, theyll love you for looking at their private bits???????????? Oops!
Oh, Stan mentioned something about reliability. Well for the record, this manufacturer just solved a problem with one of the "private bits" that affected ALL manufacturers models that used the same part, which is literally everyone irrespective of brand. ALL of this new consignment , landed in the warehouse last Friday, is already fitted with "the fix", and all my imports are built to my signature specifications on the production line (which is why you get a bypass at 9 bars or thereabouts straight out of the box)!....boy that was a long sentence.
I may have to take a holiday and tour the CoffeeSnobs Sponsors next year, to get a look at the different machines 8-). I just have to convince the wife :-/ Shouldnt be to hard she has been making the coffee of late and refusing me access to the machine

Hey Chris,
Just wondering how youre going with this machine (and bumping this thread up so you dont forget 8-)).
Is it all you expected? Still got it on your bench? Fallen in love,Chris?
When youve gotten your thoughts together, let us know. Thanks. :
Hi Greg, I havent forgotten!
They have produced a very good machine with excellent usability. Anecdotally, no real cooling flush is required- only a rinse. Milk texture is great through a ball-jointed 2 hole tip and the machine recovers well.
The tank is unusual- clear perspex with grab tabs. I havent seen one like this before and though there is no problem with it, I suspect that there would be heartbreak if it was dropped. Inside, as per all of Attilios Diadema stock, a water softening cartridge.
I am waiting on software for my fluke so I can run it through some shots to get an idea of what the profile looks like.
Would I have it on my bench? Absolutely. It is a viable competitor to Giotto, Galatea and similar spec machines.
