Excellent result. I'm not sure how many 4yo 6910's there are out there. Obviously your care and attention has paid off. How many per day does it make ?

On average, 3 a day....sometimes more in the weekend especially when visitors arrive. Of course there are also quiet periods when you venture off for a holiday and hope the destination has heard of cappucino 😃 Apart from a replacement seal, this machine has had no other changes to parts (eg Collar)

Ahhh that explains it. My was doing 50 - 60 per week minimum until I killed the steam side and got too frustrated with it. I donated it to AM who got it cranking again it has returned to active duty. It had a slightly worn collar and dodgy steam switch but I never had to put a seal it.

That's a lot of coffees :coffee:

Indeed, but the current machine does them with such incredible ease its silly. Milk takes 12 seconds, not 2 minutes like the 6910 😃

That's only 3.5 coffees each day per person in the house. It's not that many. I'd hit that pretty much every day, often before midday.

Yep I'm on 3 before 9.30 😃

I used to have a similar intake, but 2 bouts of Kidney Stones slows you down and encourages you to reach for the bottle of water on occasions 🙂

Another Year on...and I think it is about to give up the ghost....after 5 Years. Steam Wand makes several attempts before it will kick in fully. Has been happening for the last month or so.....but as of today, I have been waiting nearly an hour and it still won't play. Looks like it may be time to invest in another machine 🙁

If you want to upgrade to a prosumer semi commercial machine I might be able to tempt you with a BZ 99

Probably happy to go with the Sunbeam EM7000 except for the current perception that I'd be getting ripped off. Up until Sunday, I could get the EM7000 with Grinder (Bonus offer via redemption) for $719 at DJ's. Now that the Bonus offer has ended, $719 for just the EM7000 seems wrong 🙁

throwing the grinder in is just their way of getting rid of them. 😃 my 6910 is 15 months old now, makes on average about 30-40 coffees a week and hasn't missed a beat. its a fairly long run for a product (over 6 years now i believe) and the later ones are definitely better than the early ones.
