Hello,
I don't see any reviews about Gensaco. Does anyone have experience with their equipment?
I've been shopping around for a grinder (and upgrading my espresso machine soon, looking at an isomac venus). For the grinder, i'm looking at the following (online and trying to find in NYC): innova grinders, solis maestro plus, Gaggia MDF, iberital.
I've been looking around New York City, because i'd rather buy one here, than pay for shipping and have to ship it back if it needs to be serviced.
there is a store on Bowery and Houston that sells gensaco stuff (they also have a couple of really old, pretty, espresso machines).
Additionally, are there any New Yorkers out there with suggestions on where to shop for a espresso stuff in NYC?
The Gensaco website lists some pretty impressive looking semi-autos and lever machines. They have one, called the Forgetta, which reminds me of the ECM Giotto Premium. It has a more curved exterior case, similar design for the steam and hot water valves, the same boiler capacity and reservoir capacity, and both use the E61.
(I also moved your thread to the Espresso Machines forum)
