Gee, an honest review?

Great review there. Nice sense of humour thrown in.... Loved the cup warmer comments... Personally I can't comment on the machine and I've always turned folk towards the Lelit/Silvia range to start out. While not perfect they are a proven investment for a newbie. I haven't seen any second hand Gees sold as yet. A little OT I know but I do go on about the "investment" part here and there. I think it's good for a newbie to buy a machine and be able to sell it a few months/years later when they upgrade and recoup a substantial part of the money they put in. The machines are good for many more reliable years use. Other mass marketed machines seem to last a few years and then contribute to landfill. Not good for the owner (hip pocket) or the environment.

When I bought the Bezzera 18 months ago I sold my well maintained 9year old Silvia for $450, just short of the original purchase price, the new owner tells me its still going strong. 😉

there are honest reviews and other reviews like the reviews ive read on the new breville grinder and there new coffee machine written buy people associated with the product or marketing, or friends and family of such, or people trying to make money on selling the products

Spin is a wonderful thing. Usual thing with anything you read on the net is have the BS filter fitted which weighs comments made knowing who is selling or has an interest in seeing it sold and or owns said product and only sees the rosy side of it. Not seeing negative comments about a product should trigger alarm bells as NO machine/car/device made of any type is perfect so it is only proper to talk about any niggles. On the Gee thing put it into the category of a Tweakable tank like 6910 Sunbeam for performance. So good shots and OK steam.
