I'm brand new to the world of Espresso and Coffee Geek and I must say I've thoroughly enjoyed reading about types of machines and machines themselves here and else where. Thanks to all of you. I'm looking at buying something like an Alex Duetto 2 or an HX hx machine like a Rocket Gioto. Will the Duetto run well enough on 15 amps? M-F I'll probably pull 1 or 2 doubles and on the weekends occasionally make a few other types of drinks while entertaining, probably not more than 6 or 7.
My other question is about the dealers. I'm leaning heavily toward the Duetto and I notice there are a few distributors and am wondering how your experiences with companies like Seattle Coffee Gear, Chris Coffee, etc have been. I notice that Seattle really likes the Rockets and HX machines. Knowing this would I be better off with someone not so heavily biased against what I may want or, maybe am I better off with an HX.
I'm esp concerned with service after the sale, esp if a problem develops with the machine. When I call I would like to deal with someone who won't put me on hold for 20 minutes and cares about getting me going again. Anyone have any thoughts about service after the sale.
Also, has there been anything written about any health issues arising from drinking too much espresso. Where the line should be drawn, 2 shots, 4 shots daily, etc. Any thought on these matters as well as recommendations for dealers, machines, etc would be greatly appreciated.
