Bought new about 8 years ago - hasn't missed a beat in that time (2 to 3 cups per day, 4 days per week).
For the other 3 days of the week, we settled for 'pretend coffee'. What's 'pretend coffee'? Well, years ago the missus and I bought a couple of cappuccinos at a local shopping centre. It was late in the day - just before closing. The coffee wasn't too bad - for shopping centre coffee. Later on the missus, who'd been facing the "barista" while he performed his "magic" told me he had made it with instant coffee, steamed directly into the serving mug. Since then, if I'm in a hurry or just lazy 'pretend coffee' it is.
I wouldn't recommend the Mazzer for anyone with low volume needs. I'd go with something like a Lido. However, if your output warrants a Mazzer Mini E, this one's got plenty of life left in it. No dents, cracks stripped threads etc. Any test welcome. Looks near to new (see pics).
Asking price $450.
Pick up only (from Ballarat).
Ps don't know why they call these things 'Mini' - nothing mini about them.
