What's been clear to me, not just in this thread but in my own purchases also, is that there's no one machine for everyone. Reiss has got clear ideas about the machine he wants to produce and that includes both the functional and the aesthetic. He's had to backpedal a couple of times also, which can't be fun when he's put himself out there quite as far as he has. As someone who likes the look of cups on my machine, I appreciate the cup tray. If I decided the Londinium I was the machine for me, would I let it put me off? But I definitely understand why some of the other choices are deal breakers for others. And when you're spending $2+K on a machine you get to be picky! 😃
