I feel that the "naming of names" doesnt give a true or complete picture to the person asking the question. It is difficult to know the answer. This is because each market is different.....it very much depends on the relative "strength" of the individual coffee suppliers in the individual markets, and the equipment brands they have aligned themselves with and /or import. A relatively strong brand in the Oz market is San Marino. Another over the years has been Rancilio, and another has been Faema. In my own market our own Diadema machines are strong..... In the past, Bo-Ema has been incredibly strong due to Harris and Timms brands handling them..... So to reiterate in another way.............the brand is usually dependant on the coffee supplier. A brand handled by the largest player in any given market, has the largest presence in that market. As an aside, it is therefore interesting to note that machine brand names with the biggest presence do not necessarily make the best coffee, they are simply the commonest brands around due to their alignment with the market "leader"
