La Pavoni Europiccola...worked great for 25 years, replaced gaskets once myself following a Utube video...takes up minimum shelf space...authentic original Italian espresso...took me 20+ tries to perfect my technique but I love having full control with a manual pull machine. Plan to get it repaired or replace it with similar one.
OT: Espresso machines
I know this is off topic for the A'gon, but I thought my fellow gear enthusiasts had an opinion. I'm looking for a simple, narrow espresso machine. Reliability is important. I have a Nespresso Vertuo which I really like but lately I've been roasting my own coffee and wanted a more traditional machine.
Opinions?
