Posted Thu Jan 24, 2013, 11:29am Subject: I have the option to buy an ex-display Solis Ultra One for 1/3 of normal price
It's still pricey and I figured that Solis is a good brand, however, I cannot find any reviews or further information on this machine at all.
Also it appears that due to Saeco having been bought by another company, that Solis (somehow linked to Saeco) will no longer sell or make coffee machines.
The machine itself looks pretty amazing but am a little reluctant to get it without at least a few words of encouragement.
Normal price appears to be around the 3000$ mark but I can get this one for around 1000
Thoughts?
There is only one available so I need to act quickly!

Super auto machines are generally very complicated and few places will service them necessitating shipping the large, heavy machine. All that for the convenience of creating mediocre coffee beverages. If you can get an extended warranty that is all inclusive, and do not want to deal with making "real" espresso, the choice is yours. Few here will recommend a super auto machine. It is sort of the difference between "Eggo" brand waffles and mixing the batter from scratch.
