<p>I currently own two Rancilio units one is the Classe 8 Automatic tall which we have in our coffee shop. The newest one a Classe 6 simi auto located in our restaurant. I've owned the Class 8 for almost 4 years, other then yearly upkeep this unit runs great. Thats why we purchased the Class 6 for our restaurant. Very easy to use, to clean and to find parts. </p>

I haven't used the Epoca S, but I do work on an Epoca E 2-group at the coffee shop in my church nearly every week. I find it to be a very robust machine, fun to work on, great to look at - but most importantly makes killer shots and steams milk very well. This machine is used only on Sundays - so I cannot testify to how it stands up to every day use - but my guess would be very well.

I know plenty of people who like Rancilios, and my experience behind one was good. Only thing about the Epoca is that it just seems toy-like, because of all the plastic (even the drip tray!).

<p>But seriously. I have seen ads, but a sparkly 3-group Linea AND expensive (though not my cup of tea) grinder, for $2,000? Including shipping? </p>

<p>Something seems off about it. But I hope for some buyer's sake that it's a great find. </p>

<p>There are ads like that all over the place, you just have to be patient for one in your area. I literally typed "minneapolis.craigslist.org la marzocco" into my search bar.</p>

<p>Google isn't hard, lol.</p>
