Hairy Posted January 20, 2015 Share Hi boys and girls Been a while since I popped in here! So our very basic Russel and Hobbs unit has packed up and we are looking for a replacement .... unfortunately what we would like it not what we are willing to spend. At present the Breville is top of my list, we are looking in the 2-2.5k pricing range and a manual espresso machine is where we want to be.http://www.yuppiechef.com/breville.htm?id=13906&name=Breville-Caf%C3%A9-Venezia-Espresso-Machine http://static.yuppiechef.com/docscache/static.yuppiechef.com/docsraw/13906/picture20140818110716_600x450q80.jpg Any other recommendations at all?

Their Grinder however isn't great. It has plastic gears driving the burrs which strip easily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimpleDom Posted January 20, 2015 Share I don't know them at all. My Breville only got replaced because the grinder packed up... It makes pretty good espresso.... Especially after I bought a decent grinder. But then the itch started and I bought a rancilio rocky. [emoji14] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimpleDom Posted January 20, 2015 Share And thats where it begins..... I love the rocky. I've already modded it with a PID to control temperature. It now produces Really nice espresso, but I'm itching for a better grinder already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PID makes a HUGE improvement to temp stability on a small machine - less on the bigger machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAGecko Posted January 20, 2015 Share I have a few 2014 Ascaso Steel Coffee machines in our warehouse that I might be willing to set free at a decent discount. A couple of Duo Prof's, a few Uno's (Boiler models) and a Cream Dream (Thermobloc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
