ECM Botticelli II Wanted in NZ

[srm]

Hi
I live in New Zealand and was looking to purchase a Rancilio Silvia until I read about the Botticelli II. Unfortunately, I believe this machine is not currently sold in NZ - can anyone help me in the best way to source one. Also interested in Best grinder to complete set.
Thanks

Re: ECM Botticelli II Wanted in NZ

Anyone who sells the giotto should be able to get you the botticelli as well, as the ECM distributor will probably import both, so it might be worthwhile asking someone local so that you can get local service. You might have to wait a little bit for delivery, but youd have to do that if you bought the machine from Australia. The same goes for the Best grinder. (Personally, I think that the mazzer mini is probably a better choice, but the Best is ... err ... best if you do want, as you said, the matching set)

If you would still prefer to buy from Australia, you are best off contacting one of the site sponsors that stocks ECM directly. I know that Veneziano Caffe stocks ECM, as does Talk Coffee.

Cheers,

Luca
