Another Rancilio Silvia and Rocky grinder owner here. Great machines. Totally hands-on espresso maker. Kind of like spinning vinyl with a completely manual turntable. You gotta love it.
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?
