san marino lisa junior espresso machine

Summercrema

Hi,

Iam interested in a San Marino Lisa junior single group machine, looks very good for my kitchen for sure but I have no idea can it make a verg good shot, can it maintain consistent pressure & temperature? is it a very good brand, is it an old design, I notice many new design out there like models from Isomac, please advice, thanks in advance.

regards

Summercrema

hi summercrema, chech out this post elsewhere which addresses the issue: http://coffeesnobs.com.au/YaBB.pl?num=1170939926/3 this addresses the issue quite well I think. as far as I can tell they're a pretty good machine, but if you're buying it new there's quite a lot of other products available in the same price range that are worth looking at, including e61 single lever machines I'm a Bezzera man myself, but that's just personal preference good luck and let us know what you decide, pat
