Hey everyone, wanted to get peoples opinion on a super-auto for an office setting. I have a friend who is looking to buy a machine for their office. Ease of use is a big factor in this one, and a traditional set up is not quite what his boss is looking for. I have a few options picked out already but appreciate others feedback.
Here are the details he sent:
Price range, I'd say under 3 grand. But we need solid performance WAY
more than features, so less if possible. A low end model of a high end
brand is a likely choice.
General requirements:
• good espresso (no real need for drip coffee or "strength controls"
since we've got a hot tap)
• steam/froth/foam is nice but no need for tons of options.
• built-in hopper & grinder
• Solid construction--this thing will get used quite a bit (I'll be
cleaning/maintaining it, so that's no big deal; I actually like to do
that shit)
• Good looks would be really nice. Clean, sharp lines without
unnecessary bulgy plastic curves and decoration and crap. What can I
say, we're designers. (this is relatively low priority, of course.)
