I am not sure whether they will sell to Sweden, but that's the only European address I know of: http://www.expobar.de/ I just learned about them yesterday, funny coincidence. cheers afx
One thing that caught my eye, the specifications say volumetric pump, also for the Office models. Is volumetric pump another name for rotary pump? I thought these have vibe pumps. Mistake perhaps?

Yes, Mats, they have vibe pumps, Ulka or the like. It´s a typo of some kind on the crem site I guess, because "volumetric" is a term used for rotary pumps AFAIK. The Expobars are very much like the ECM Giotto, the Isomac Tea/Millenium, Vibiemme Domobar Super and others of the same kind - machines that are supposed to be easy to set up in your average kitchen or office. No need for plumbing, thus, and that means they can´t use a "volumetric" pump.
Technical details can be found at <http://www.wholelattelove.com/compare.cfm?SubCategoryID=1> (choose the machines you want to compare, then click on "features") , and other technical details in Mark´s great 'first look' on the pulser, <http://coffeegeek.com/proreviews/firstlook/expobarpulser>
The machine also exists in Sweden. It is sold rebranded as "Coffeequeen Crema" at the comparably outrageous price of 12.000 SEK.
P.S. Du kan kontakta Coffeequeen direkt (http://www.coffeequeen.se) för att hitta närmsta återförsäljare. Det är alltså "Coffeequeen Crema"-maskinen det är fråga om. Inte för att det skulle fresta mig att handla den för det priset av dem, men bara så att du vet... De har återförsäljare i Sthlm/Gbg/Mlö åtminstone. D.S
