The only way to make that claim with real meaning is IF same coffee same grinder used all machines.

Agreed, you can ruin all the perks of having the top of the line machine by fudging on the grinder.

Anyway, we use an older model classe 10 at our church cafe and it's great. You can pick one up for like 1000 on ebay. Personally, i use an Aurelia and i love it. It's much better than the classe 10 but also a few year newer. 

Again, whatever you do get a good grinder and you'll get the best out of your machine. I go with compak or mazzer.

Thanks guys. I'm planning to go with the Mahlkonig K30 Twin grinder for our espresso set-up. I know the grinder is one of the 'king-pins' of great espresso.
