After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.
EM7000 Purchased - EM6910 Retired - Initial observations
As alluded to on other threads, my EM6910 finally gave up after 5 Years.
Purchased the EM7000 today for $700 (unfortunately 1 week too late to benefit from the Sunbeam Free Grinder deal).
Initial observations include :
[li]7000 is slightly deeper than the 6910 (approx 4cm), so sticks out a bit further from the wall[/li]
[li]7000 Espresso function is definitely quieter than the 6910[/li]
[li]loving the temperature guage of the 7000 Steam wand[/li]
[li]would prefer the little rubber TAB that was included on the 6910 Steam wand (7000 only has the rubber tube)[/li]
[li]7000 water reservoir is lower and deeper than the 6910 so that probably explains the deeper body[/li]
After the initial problems I had with the 6900/6910, the last Machine lasted me just over 5 years with no issues. Hopefully, this one will also last at least 5 Years.
Comments
[li]No roller wheels under the machine to assist in sliding out from the wall (eg during water top-up)[/li] [li]Due to the deeper / shorter design of the water resevoir, machine has to come out a long way to remove it for refilling (personal preference that I prefer to remove to refill rather than pour from the top)[/li]
But still happy with the beast :thumb:
