so this was found close to my place, was easy to find and pick up

apparently the repair service guy said it was beyond repair, a pity such a beautiful machine

i have no experience in these machines, so it will be a nice journey

if you have experience in this one, please...

I got my Breville Dual Boiler back in late fall of 2011. I was getting ready for a promotion at work that I was going to celebrate with a saturated brew group machine, probably a GS/3 because of their value in comparison to the single group Cyncra (that I really wanted) and...

I'm constantly reading pros and cons of each machine and can't come to a decision. I want to be drinking espresso sooner than later so I'm reaching out to the brains trust on which machine I should be getting. I've narrowed it down to three. Perhaps there should be another one I...
