Hey all,
First post on here, devotee of espresso since the beginning of this century and not too proud to say that I need your help.
I have a Silvia and Rocky that I plan to sell and wanted to take them in for service for a clean bill of health. I took it to Rudy's Espresso a couple of years ago but recently heard that there is a place in Chelsea that services machines. Does anyone know of this place?
Also, after I part with my beloved Silvia/Rocky, I am considering an upgrade- I typically pull about three doubles a day for myself and a few milk drinks on the weekend for my newly minted wife. I am guessing that I would do the occasional milk drink for myself but I'm lazy and impatient with Silvia.
To this point, I have considered one of the Quick Mills- Andreja or Vetrano- I like the form factor and could do with an HX machine but I'm not tied to an agenda. I am happy to spend less money or the same on something else if there is better performance. I could plumb it directly into the water line but not a needed feature; am ambivalent on this.
I would pair the machine with likely one of the Macap grinders.
Lastly, I've heard good things about Chris' coffee but Hi-tech Espresso offers the same machines with the PID mod for roughly the same money.
To consolidate:
1) Does anyone know of the place in Chelsea that services machines or anyone else besides Rudy's? (Nothing against them by the way.) 2) Considering one of the Quick Mills- any thoughts on these versus competitors? 3) How about Hi-Tech with the PID mods versus Chris' Coffee?
