Hi, all.
Does anybody have any experience with the Electra Belle Epoque series of espresso machines? The owner of our shop (I'm the barista manager) is going to buy a new machine soon, and being a fan of old-timey objects, he is considering Elektra's line of R2D2-like espresso machines. While I'd prefer modern, I'm all for it, as long as the thing can hold up in a busy shop, without getting in the way or breaking. The only thing I can see about them that I DEFINITELY don't like is that they are not lever operated: I can't stand push-button extraction-- I want total control, you know?
Anyway, he's not completely stuck on this choice, I'd just like to know whether I should try to steer him away from this choice or not.
Thanks everybody!
