Approximately what sort of price increase can we expect?

What's a few thousand dollars among friends?
What, me worry?

So, elmwood, have you reached a verdict?

funny you should ask. since it's lent, i've given up coffee and beer, or at least i've attempted to 6 days a week. i think i should wait until after easter to make this purchase. i'm also debating taking a job in northern virginia to be close to my beloved state of south jersey. i didn't realize that ordering this machine would be such a serious commitment.

I've been keeping an eye on espressocoffeeshop.com and with the drop in the Euro, they're saying about $2,300 US shipped on an A3 now, plus about $100 tariff (4.3%). Wish I didn't see this post originally, because the A3 was never on my radar due to price, but now it's always on the side lurking.....

FYI, the A3 is no more. Elektra discontinued the line. You can get the T1, but the A3 is now espresso history.

I don't know. Here's elektra's website still showing the A3.

From the US importer for the brand. Try to find one in the US. About everyone is out of stock and there will be no replenishment once inventory runs out.

Try Jim Duke (http://jimdukeservice.com/home/jimdukeservicecom/elektra.htm), apparently he has 4 A3's in stock and same for T1's. Very reason prices too, similar to purchasing from Italy.
