Aloha Gang -
We are a fairly busy cafe out on Kauai. Looking to get a new machine and we really love the Astoria Gloria Lever machine.
1. It looks Cool and customers will probably love the gimmick of actually pulling a shot
2. I like the idea of the machine being easy to work on. As it is now, we have to fly someone in to work on our Cimbali
3. The price is reasonable
My main concerns are speed and the ability to train our people how to pull a good shot on it. Is it really that much slower? Is it possible to pull a shot and steam milk while its pouring? Is the handle really heavy, and will one arm on our barista be worn out after seven hours?
Thanks!
