I'm in the market for a new machine. Thinking about getting a Gaggia Classic, again. I'd still love a Silvia but can't really justify the price difference and the amount of use this machine will get.
Arredatutto.com will send one my way for £151 and the last ones I've bought have served me well enough to buy again (one was a present for my dad) and the other one I passed on 6 months ago. How big is the difference with the new versions compared to the older ones? Boiler issues seem to be the most regular complaint from what I've seen so far.
Any other suggestions are most welcome, I have not looked at this thread or coffeegeeks for over 2 years.
Thanks.
