*Fit and finish -- Expobar parts* *expo: Drip tray and cover poor fit. * *expo: The plastic from the laser cutting operation is NOT removed -- just stays in place INSIDE to smell and fall off.* *expo: pump is VERY close to the front panel -- rotates and touches frequently -- causing a racket.* *expo: Iron chassis and frame -- front covered by thin stainless.* *expo: ONLY machine to use the all plastic pressure stat --NOT a ceme, or mater or jaeger or sirai. WTF?* *expo: brutus / SAME size boiler for steam and brew -- brew boiler has two plugs on the bottom that can and do leak.*
*sorry, but this is all factual and observed in my 10 years working on espresso.* *These are things to look out for. WHY so defensive? If you like yours?
