Awesome! Thanks kristi!
I like the Columbina, but I'd take a Bric over the Volante any day. I bet sales were low because of the looks, and that's why the Bric is $999. THey're making room for a more traditional style. Too bad, I prefer the bric.

They're all Bric's (except the Columbina) . Room for something for everybody. More choices. Expensive, but better build.

Why is the picture of the Columbina so bad? The back of it looks like a serrated saw! Why is it some internet retailers can't take and post good pictures. If you look at the Andreja Premium at Sweet Marias and at Chris's you can see what I am talking about. The picture of the Fiorenzato Bricoletta VOLANTE is a little better than the Columbina, but not much. Whats the deal?

This is sweet. Now those who like boxes will like the looks of this machine (I prefer the 1950's retro garbage can look fo my Bricoletta actually). But in reading the details I missed what the second gauge is for. Is it brew head presure?
Coffee, I must have coffee, And if anyone wants to give me a treat, Ah!, just give me some coffee!

I believe so. Otherwise the Volante looks like a Bric clone, except for the straight sided shell (and +$100 price tag). Should be another sweet machine.
Columbina has a couple of extras: automatic water refill of the internal boiler, and Multi-directional wand used for both hot water and steam.
