I recently switched to a smaller machine and have a Nuova Era Cuadra up for sale. It's a Heat Exchanger with an E61 group and a 1.8L boiler.
The machine is a few years old, but about six months ago I had almost all the insides replaced. Queensland Coffee Machines replaced the element and all the valves, hoses, etc. Essentially, the machine is as new mechanically. (Better than new, really, since the plastic hoses have been replaced with stainless steel hoses.) It's been used only at home, for two to four coffees a day on average. I rinse, clean, and descale regularly. It's been well looked after.
Cosmetically, the machine has normal light use wear and tear. It could use a bit of a polish, and there's some slight cosmetic wear on the grouphead. The plastic insert in the drip tray has a slight crack, but it doesn't seem to leak.
It comes with one portafilter, a single basket, a double basket, and a blind basket.
Location: Manly West, Brisbane (I'd prefer local pick up - not sure how expensive freight would be.)
Price: $850
