Hehe, thought you'd ask about that pat. Actually the g10 did quite well, not as great as the synesso (in terms of temp profiles, and flavour in the cup) but still fantastic. Interesting to hear about that cafe in East brunswick, the synesso's (cyncra or sabre) temp does idle up and down, but from my experience, a lot lot less than any other off the shelf machine. The only thing I can think of is that the synesso gives it's reading in .1 of a degree ferinheight which is a lot more sensitive (obviously) than most machines that read out in whole degrees celcius, and so it might look like it's all over the place, when in fact it's actually quite good. As for the spec;'s on the dalle corte's, i'd be worried about the tiny 500ml boilers used to regulate the temp at each group, but having not used one i can't really comment
