Good or great espresso machines? Let the arguing begin!

[peter]

Have to think about this.

Think about it as you're driving over.   

Looking forward to Pyment's decision on his new espresso machine.

 

Personally, I don't think Pyment will buy one; it's the hunt that has him enthralled, the idea of owning a machine.  Buying one will mess that all up.

Oh ... I see ... so you are saying he is a hunter ... but he is not a killer ... or in MMA terms ... he is not a finisher.

Is that right?

That's what I'm sayin'.

Maybe it's a new MMA term - window shopper.

Timing is everything. This is true in coffee as in life. I have a schedule and am still in the research phase but am reaching the end of it.

Next phase is the negotiation phase. This is complicated by the fact that I just got the BGE.

In this phase, I have to make a case that, in spite of not using my current super-auto very much, I will use the planned machine more.  I also know that the grill will need a 20 amp circuit and need to look at my circuit board to be sure of where the new machine will end up. I think step one will be to convince my wife that the espresso set up needs to be moved from its current location. Hence the emphasis on looks.

Then comes the purchase phase. Always the easiest if the groundwork is done well in the 1st 2 phases.

The only thing that will cause significant deviation from the Plan, will be a super buy on an acceptable machine. Carping from the peanut gallery will have no effect.

Although the peanut gallery would like no more than to spend your money viariously ... in the end the decision of when and if to pull the trigger will rest with you.

Can we just nip at your heels then?   



I see you going through some of the same gymnastics as I did, Py.  The big difference being that my significant other only cares about what time I walk her and whether there's food and water in her bowl.

[Pyment]

fine.

I may just recruit people to look at local machines for me. Milwaukee, Seattle, and any other locations peanut gallery members can be found.

I'll do the same for you in Monroe.

Always happy to help in Seattle area

A litlle follow up on the Roaste.com machines.  I asked who provides the product support and service on the Vibiemmes they sell. At least the Vibiemmes come from 1st Line.

Currently, www.roaste.com/ is selling their Vibiemmes at the same price as 1st line, but they have a 10% off coupon.

Same is true for the Rocket machines.

And that's how retailers get around MAP & MSRP restrictions. Limited duration special offers exempts them from those pesky limitations.

[Pyment]

I know.

No reason one of us shouldn't take advantage, right? I know I got my Rocky below MAP from Chris Coffee by calling them.

That is a big, BIG, GIANT, COLOSSAL difference.

I have no idea why you don't have 3 machines on the counter right now.
