Buying on eBay

Been doing it for several years now, everything from refrigerated display cases to espresso machines and back again... been screwed once or twice... bought a few dogs but all in all... not so bad.

This is the latest... my tech wanted them because he says they are the so easy to work on.

Curious, anybody have/use/know them and have thoughts.

It depends, Faema has gone bankrupt about 4 times, including moving to Spain, if it is older finding parts could be problematic, if it is newer it is Cimbali with a Faema nametag

"if it is newer it is Cimbali with a Faema nametag"

...which comes with its own special challenges.

Sourcing parts for a Faema espresso machine should not be too difficult as they're pretty ubiquitous. But really, I wouldn't choose anything other than a La Marzocco - regardless of what my tech has to say about it.
