ive gone thru many grinders and espresso machines to find the right comb0 I LIKE, I NOW HAVE A expobar OFFICE LEVER, ANDA PASQUINI MOKA DOSER, [MADE BY ANFIM] And ifeel real happy with my machines, but i feel the only way to figure out what one wants is to purchasethe machine, try them, if not satisfied sell them and go on, i bought the VARIO, after my LELIT PL53 [VERY GOOD STERPLESS GRINDER FOR $277 VERY GOOD INDEED, but i just did not like its noisy engine, and i took it apart to what it was made of and had a hard time to get it back,and it was messy, so i sold it,[ebay is great for this] i bought the vario, and right away, there was something i did not like, THE FEEL OF IT!!! if you know what i mean, NO SATISFACTION, BUT it made dam good espresso, , i felt it would not last a long long time either, it reminded me of the cheap grinders i started out with, in the $100-$150 range, i could be wrong aboutit lasting for decades though, i know my pasquini moka will, just by looking inside, etc the feel, etc. i dont like plastic either on machines when you can have metal [personal thought ] to find what you want trial and error, isthe only way for me, |
