Hello !

I have an opportunity to upgrade to an espresso machine that must be plumbed in - no internal thank. At first it was a big no-no because the machine would not fit under my cabinet, and the coffee table is 10 feet away from the kitchen water line / sink. But I started to...

Hi everyone,

I'm new here but a long time lover of espresso and the ritual of making yourself a cup. :)

So, I've had this Breville Dual Boiler for about 6 years and I already replaced the solenoid valve once (~2 years ago).

I'm looking at a Quick Mill Anita on CL of uncertain age, steam wand through front panel, so prolly not EVO.

I would like to hear from others, your experiences, with the Key.

I haven't been able to find any info about this grinder on the forum. Just wondering what everyone thinks. I don't see any details about the motor or the burrs but I kind of like the design/idea
