Hi,
I'm in the UK looking out for a decent superauto machine, particularly =
interested in the Jura range and possibly the Saecos. 5-600 of your UK =
pounds is about the point my coffee geekiness vs. bank balance cries =
"enough" I think!
Currently using a cheapy Delonghi espresso/filter combined machine, with =
a Starbucks Barista grinder. With the aid of these forums and =
coffeegeek, I can actually get a reasonable tasting shot out of the =
current setup - the local Whittards manager is a real coffee enthusiast =
and has put us onto good beans from freshly roasted batches (Sumatra =
Blue Lingtong mmm-mmm). But it takes ages and seems too much like hard =
work, so I am put off going down the Silvia/Rocky route. And I've had =
some pretty reasonable shots out of a Jura superauto at one of the pubs =
I frequent.
Has anyone any suggestions/experience of these things?
And where to get them at a decent price from the UK? So far =
italy-outlet.com are the best UK spec prices and espressofactory.de are =
even cheaper if I don't mind refitting the plug and having to wrestle =
with non-english instructions.
PS in response to some of this evenings posts I really enjoyed Peets =
coffee in California on a recent trip; surprise of the trip though, was =
a place called Spliffs in Guerneville, just a shack on the edge of town =
that served really good coffee. Mill Valley had a good one as well.
TIA Mike
