Hi,

Here's all the literature: http://nuovasimonelliusa.com/master_coffee.html

I always prefer traditional machines to superautos. The barista has more control over the quality of the cup. I also recommend never buying used superautos as they are very complicated machines. There may well be a reason the seller is offering it so cheap - there could be a hidden problem with it that could cost you a bomb to repair.

If you consider the Astoria Argenta "Big Gulp", it will keep up with the Master Capp in production, it takes up about the same counter space, and the big one is it has a double-tall 9" clearance from portafilter spout to drip tray which allows you to serve directly into paper cups as large as 24 oz. It even ships with a Bestmax filter system.

Thanks. The more I think about buying a used super automatic in unknown condition from an unknown entity, the more fearful I get. The M2 we're looking at is more than twice the price (it's a reconditioned unit) but it comes from a reputable equipment service company with whom we already have a business relationship. I'll check out that Astoria unit.
