I am curious about the 13 amp thing. what is standard power rating in other 240 volt countries? Europe seems to be 16 amp, so should be ok., but elsewhere?? it seems overpowered for such a small boiler. overshoot could be a potential issue.
That was my main issue too UNM. My lusso is a 3 litre boiler with a 1000w element, and I never drops steam pressure, even if I leave the tap fully open, it never drops below 0.9 bar. It's certainly a very interesting machine, and I can't wait to see how it turns out. Might even be an excuse for a holiday to fly over there just to see one in the flesh and have a go. 😉 It's a bit like the BDB scenario in that they haven't built the machine yet or tested it fully so it's all speculation at the moment. At least they are talking to potential customers and giving them the specs, unlike Breville. I like the price, I don't have an issue with the built by england bit, I was born there! Italian Cars & Motorbikes weren't exactly know for their built quality either, and we all drool over their coffee machines! :laugh: It seems that they are moving pretty fast on this, so fingers crossed we will get some further news soon. 🙂
