Hello all. I'm a new HB member (but have been reading for a few months). I've been making espresso for about 2+ years on a Krups 2010 which is an electric pump machine with thermoblock heater. It's not a bad little machine for the money, but nonetheless it's time to upgrade to...
I've had my Izzo Alex for about a year and a half. A little while ago (after the warranty was up!) it started acting strangely, and as of right now it is completely cold! When it started acting up, here's what happened:
When I turned the machine on, all the electrical stuff...
All three of these lines of HX machines look great. The reviews certainly make the Quickmill line and the Domobars are great HX machines. Has anyone used both the Alex and one of these two enough to compare the espresso they produce?
I was not long ago asking help to choose between Brewtus and Alex (on CoffeeGeek and CoffeeCrew). Finally I decided I don't want a HX machine and I don't want Brewtus. I found some rumors that there is going to be a new dual boiler Izzo Alex.
hi all-
am in desparate need of a new machine and have been digging around in archives, forums, and reviews. I have quite a few candidates lined up, including the QM, S1, and VBM. One that looks intriguing, but is lacking in reviews and other information, is the Izzo Alex- I...
I am now entirely over the GS3 I have been waiting for three years to arrive, and ready to move on from my 9 year old ECM Giotto. Although I thought that I would perhaps just replace it with another Giotto -- which has served me quite well -- I would like something a bit better...
My Alex arrived along with my bottomless portafilter and Macap MC4 stepless with doser.
I had one setback - a hose from the water tank had gotten pinched and broke. It took me an hour or so to figure out why I couldn't get primed, then to take apart the machine, cut off the...
First hello to all because I am new to this forum, :)
can anybody explain me the difference between Andreja and Anita. In Europe Anita is relative expensive and the price difference between both is smaller than in the US (only about 200 $). So I am not sure if Anita is worth...
Since we introduced the Vetrano over a year ago many people have asked for an espresso machine with a nice quite rotary pump that they did not have to plumb in.
Say hello to Alex by Izzo ! She has a quiet rotary pump and doesn't have to be plumbed in. However she can be...

I am finally on the verge of ordering my machine. My new job came through just a month later than expected. I started wanting a KA Proline and have ended up at an Anita. I need a little arm twisting to push me on to the Alex. I like the option of plumbing in. And not having ever...
