I have also considered a new machine, and moving this one to the GF's house, but haven't done enough serious looking to have anything really catch my eye. You guys we're here before me when I joined this merry little band in I think 2006, so I look forward to learning what machines you are leaning towards. It certainly is a different market than when I first started looking after my first little Krups machine died. And I lost the taste for Cafe Bustelo. Then I bought a super auto that couldn't come close to making espresso, found the highly reviewed B11 and here I am.
I still mutter "mmm that's good " after the first sip. On Dec 19, 2016, at 8:32 PM, herman dickens <[email protected]> wrote: I'll probably keep mine. lol. I'll just be using it somewhere else.
