Attilio - never fear, I don't expect this machine to be making god shots for me. Far from it actually. As you say, that will be up to the operator, the grind, the tamp etc etc etc. :doh: Your input is always welcome and gets people thinking with head, not heart. There are a few machines out there that have come onto the market over the last few years that have ticked most of the boxes in my requirements list, this one ticking all. Although I do enjoy my little PV Lusso (it does a stirling job), it only filled a gap in capability that I was looking for, at the time I bought it, that wasn't being serviced by any manufacturer. ??? Not long after, out came the Strega. And then in the latter part of this year, the Londinium I and the Quick Mill Achilles. All very capable machines from what I've researched. Trying to say which one is better would be a case of saying that mines bigger than yours ad infinitum :head: I was wondering if I'd made the right choice after the Strega came out. (I did manage to try one, and came very close to getting one. Except that it didn't meet all my requirements out of the box) I've watched the new owner thread on HB, and taken a few little gems from it, but it will take alot longer than a few days/ weeks to build up a true picture. All I can say is that this particular machine has met all my requirements. Hopefully it will last just as long as advertised, and I don't really care if anyone says its a fugly machine. :coffee2:
