      Im sure hell list them for you, but if you want bang for your buck (if your budget extends that far) then look at an Expobar Leva.

          I saw that LM in a magazine the other day definately on the wish list but unfortunately that is also named "wife is never going to go for it list" Not that I have a lazy 7 grand in the coffee budget. Is good to have something to aspire to though so thanks for that Luca

            Hmm, yes, very nice machine Thundergod, will be a consideration when I update at a later stage, if the bucks get that far to buy one :-?

              Actually, I think that its going to be under 6 grand ... not that that makes much of a difference! I guess if you were thinking of paying RRP for a single group ECM veneziano you might spring for it, but, even so, its pretty out there.

              I think that the first four Australian buyers will probably keep very quite, lest someone break down their doors!

                    I think the point is not whether or not TT or ACA are reputable as news sources but rather the appearance that a HUGE market out there listens to them, mouth agape, slight drool in the corner as they watch their daily dose of exciting "Little guy against the Giants' Reality TV... While we may not be members of that market, it seems the Corporateers do get concerned that millions might see them as the bastards they are, so I see nothing wrong with making use of that situation to get decent treatment.

                    And if we don't complain and use such pressure, the Corporateers simply get away with it - the way to get change from them is to start hitting the bottom line.

                    Apropos of which, if you want to talk to Sunbeam or any other company to give a complaint, don't bother with the Service folk (unless you are specifically directed to them to locate your item) talk to Sales. THEIR jobs RELY on said bottom line - tell them you have the power to affect that and they will act. They KNOW about the ratio of bad PR to good PR - an upset person will tell anywhere from 10 - 100 people about their bad experience. A satisfied customer will tell maybe 2 - 3. And you can NEVER catch up with Bad PR so the rule is, don't let it happen.

                    Don't let them put you off, start talking and don't stop until you mention, 'professional coffee web site with 23,000 members, ACA and TT contacts etc.

                    And if it comes down to it, you contact TT first - I'm pretty sure them being able to show how ACA stuffed up would add a certain urgency to their reports - "Look what ACA did, and look how WE fixed it"
