.....getting the necessary funds together is the problem at the moment 😢 Anyone want to buy a Rocket Giotto to help fund the new Londinium purchase??? :angel:
Playing the devil's advocate: If funds are a problem and you already have a late model high end home use espresso machine, then it is probably reasonable to say that to sell one to fund the other will cost you dearly (as in you will not realise anywhere near what you paid for the giotto at new price), so the differential to purchase another new machine will "cost ya". Think on what you hope to achieve by doing the changeover, and do you think you will afterwards consider the difference in character of the espresso achieved due to the changeover, and the cost to get it, to have been a worthwhile excercise. Only you as an individual can answer that. ie, be careful to buy for the right reasons (for you), and not simply because you have been wound up by all these discussions in these forums, to expect some kind of hitherto never before achieved espresso & espresso machine nirvana. This is not the same set of questions I would ask someone that is coming from a machine that produces a far lesser standard of home use espresso and is seeking the obvious difference in quality that you get when you changeover from a base model machine to a high end machine (irrespective of brand / model / type). hope that helps.
