I was able to find this on coffeegeek from another user. Even though it's a 2nd hand 3 year old model is still works like new. The commercial portafilter, wand and 12oz boiler really make it feel like your using a small commercial machine at home. Amazing cafe quality or better espresso and crazy steam compared to my EC155! Even for $700 new in Canada this espresso machine is a great deal and will clearly last for years and years to come! I thought this machine would be less forgiving but I was able to dial in a Hario Skerton on the 2nd try with great results.
Buying Experience
Coffeegeek user was friendly and easy to work with. Shoulda stayed away from UPS though. $100 C.O.D :s
Three Month Followup
Machine still runs like when I bought it 3 months ago. Still happy to wake up in the morning to brew a shot. :) My caffeine addiction has gotten worse over the last 3 months. I have since upgraded to the triple bottomless portafilter and it was worth it. I am pulling great looking espresso .
