I read about the benefits but aside from space I just don't know how I feel about them. The LM really does appeal to me because of its reputation and the looks grow on me. I prefer a commercial style let alone knowing it's a workhorse (even if for me overkill). I spoke with a rep from Marzocco yesterday and I think just the conversation convinced me it's the machine for me. Will let you guys know if I actually pull the trigger.

From a support perspective I have never regretted my LM purchase. You made the right decision.

Congratulations and enjoy your steam monster!

Great you beat the price increase and now you can worry about the water while enjoying a whiskey.

Yeah that pesky water. I have a 3 stage non-RO filtration which I HOPE will do well for the unit. It's a pre filter carbon and something else. Hopefully that's ok. I'm in NYC where water is pretty good to begin with (again I think so but may be mistaken when it comes to LM)

order just placed waiting the obligatory bench test time so probably nothing will materialize until march at their current 8-10 week time line.
