Aloha guys i have been lurking for awhile but am in the process of looking at machines to buy my current choices are the Quick Mill Vetrano 2B Or S1 Dream by La Spaziale. I have a Mazzer Mini that a friend of mine is loaning me when i make my choice. I have watched Dan's espresso for newbies series and enjoyed it immensely. any feedback would be greatly appreciated. My wife and i drink mostly milk based drinks now with our Gaggia and i have the Lavazza at my office. I would like to upgrade the Gaggia with one of the above units. I am leaning towards the quick mill for now. Living in Hawaii most of the companies i have spoke with want to charge an arm and a leg for shipping so i have found someone i would like to deal with that seems on the up and up.
