Posted Wed Jul 2, 2008, 6:22pm Subject: Choosing between Sunbeam EM6910 and boiler machine for work
Hi,
We're looking at gettin an espresso machine for work, and I'd like to get some advice first.
Work was looking at getting a fully automatic machine, but I've heard they have a bad reputation for the coffee, and I'd really like a machine with a stram wand for proper steamed milk.
The machine I was thinking about reccomending is the Sunbeam EM6910, but I thought I'd ask if there were any boiler machines in the fully automatic price range ($AU2000 or so I think?) which would be fairly user friendly? Say, so an inexperienced user could make a passable espresso and steam some milk without breaking anything or injuring themselves :) Or are boiler machines and user-friendlyness mutually exclusive?
I'm leaning towards the Sunbeam as it would be pretty easy to get (Good Guys or Clive Peeters or something), I've heard it's much improved from the 6900, and it seems fairly user-friendly.
Does anyone have any advice on a good machine for the situation?

Try the Sunbeam EM8910 Intuitive instead, about $700.00 odd on special at the bulk stores. Buy 2 so that when one breaks you can run the other one while waiting for service. See http://www.coffeeco.com.au/newsletter/september2006.html , scroll down to the bottom.
