Anyway, as i said, any comments/suggestions (especially positive ones!) most welcome. -Admin 🙂
Hey mate, just got the mag and had a quick read. Nice work. But I noticed that all of the machines on pgs 26 & 27 were all fairly similarly priced, and all bar the expobar were heat-exchange machines. All of them had e61 groups. Maybe you could have looked at some of the more expensive single boiler machines (isomac zaffiro, what about a silvia???), some of the dual-boilers (there are another two I can think of), and even some cheaper heat-exchange machines (expobar also have the 'office' line of machines which are essentially the same internals as most hx machines, but much cheaper ... mine was less than half the price of the giotto (giotto ~$2500, office pulser ~$1200ish), and essentially does the same job). A bit more variety, perhaps? You could also have written something about what you get for that price - apart from a pretty Italian machine - like a section about how a heat-exchange works, a section on dual boilers vs single boilers vs single boilers with hx's. And definately a section on the e61 group head - it's history, how it works, that sort of stuff. These machines aren't just that price because they're stylish and they look nice - they're expensive because they're serious pieces of hardware. Other than that, it's a nice mag. Lots of eye candy, but I guess what I'm saying is that eye-candy can be a lot more informative too. Sure, some readers might find it a bit heavy, but they don't have to read the heavy bits, they can just keep looking at the eye candy as they sip their lar-tays.
