Yeah i gotta agree, Cimbali are good solid machines. I've worked with various models throughout the years and we rarely had problems (they were always well maintained though). I also like some Bezzera machines, they made the first auto machine apparently? & they ones i've used seem very strong and reliable.<br />

First, you need to choose the best suitable grinder, whatever the price. Then, count the money you have left, and look for an espresso machine. You got it the other way round.<br />

This quote has me scratching my head because I am having such a hard time selling my practically new wbc aurelia for a really cheap price. I need the extra cash for a build out and can't carry two machines right now. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get the word out there to sell this machine please pm me.. thanks<br />

Obivously you don't so please let me explain. As a background information: I work with Gb5 too, really do like the looks, taste and feel of that machine. The difference between the buttons may seem like trivial until you pay attention to them.<br />
<br />
The rate of accidentally engaging the brewing or accidentally not stopping the brew when working under stressful conditions (stress, fatigue, dehydration) happens on a regular basis. I (and many others) blame the neutral tactile feel and the lack of 'feedback' of the cliketyclik-button compared to the switch on Linea and the button on Aurelia. Small differences but differences nevertheless.<br />
<br />
I am in no way talking about the internal differences. For me La Marzocco machines (and Linea, especially for the culturally historical value) are the machines that all others are to be judged. Considering that, NS still got it right with WBC A. imo.<br />
<br />
Great comparison with cars btw. I've always pictured the Linea as an old and dirty but trusty Toyota Hilux. J. For me, WBC aurelia is t…tag:www.baristaexchange.com,2010-10-24:1688216:Comment:9509222010-10-24T13:27:26.984Zolivier dutilhttps://www.baristaexchange.com/profile/olivierdutil
