Hi all,
I am wondering if any has experience with/would recommend a second-hand Expobar Elegance? Would this be a good first machine? Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!

I have never owned Expobar, I believe they make good commercial machines. I am pretty sure I read somewhere there was one machine that people were unhappy with that expobar made, I just can't remember what it was. If it is a really good price I might take a chance on it.

I have never even seen a commercial Expobar machine . . .
Lots of people have had a wonderful experience with the Expobar Brewtus machine; I, and others, have had less-than-great experiences with "lesser" Expobar machines (think Office Pulsar, etc.)

You misunderstood my -- in retrospect -- not very clear comment. Expobar makes commercial machines, but I have never seen one in operation in any café, restaurant, hotel, etc., etc., etc. . . .
