It is built to a price (all plastic & cheap parts), and wont last. When something fails, it is unlikely to be fixable, or worth fixing. A Rancilio Silvia at another location, which is getting more serious, & a Gaggia MDF grinder. It is about 13 years old, and has needed a small amount of maintenance (a new pump & new boiler once). It is better than the Breville. I have a Rocket Giotto at home (> 10 yrs old, & hasn’t missed a beat), with a commercial grade grinder (it is CRITICAL to have a good grinder) �C much better, more consistent, better coffee than most cafes, but many $$$ more. I have found Chris, the owner of this business: http://talkcoffee.com.au to be a font of wisdom & experience. He sells serious machines, and roasts some of the best beans I have ever had. You wont go wrong there. Also, this site: http://coffeesnobs.com.au/ is a great resource.

Anyone got a recommendation for a serious (possibly manual) coffee machine? I’ve been using a DeLonghi automatic one but now feeling that I’d prefer something like this: BES890 or BES920: http://www.breville.com.au/beverages/coffee-machines.html The main thing that puts me off is the Breville brand.
