If you want one of those look on ebay Italy. They consistently sell for about half of that, if not less. The troublesome part is convincing the seller to send it to the US.

There is a lot of them in Italy though, so they do not command such a high price. I have always been drawn to the design of Arrarex machines. They sure are pretty!

Does that mean that will be your new $500.00 machine?

Shiny, but not steamy?  I see no steam wand.  How will B|Java host Tex for frou-frou?

No. My student loans do not quite allow for the same types of purchases as my old job in medical implant sales did ;) .

I wonder if we can get GCBC on a lever-run like we did with vacpots and ceramic cones.  W--e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-...

I've known for a while I'm getting one...

Exactly what and when is up for grabs.

Strive then onward, pushing us to critical mass/tipping point.

You too can goad each other on, and publicly call one another out, which is what B|goader did to me, and how I "had" to buy Schotzie.   :D

I don't need much pushing...

I've had it in my mind for a couple years now. I did some preliminary research a while back and have started putting a little $ aside.

It's gonna happen at some point.  8)

So what machine has your preliminary research put you onto?

At one point I was pretty sure I was going to get the PV Export but now I am less concerned about what machine I eventually end up with.

I'm going to embrace the quirks of whatever it is and think I'm going to recognize whatever I'm looking or when I see it.

Hmm ... so you had thought the PVL Export but now are not totally sure?
