Yeah I looked into the Achille and the consensus was lots of cheap parts that will break very quickly.
Those La Peppinas look quite interesting. They do look quite delicate though, how are they in terms of reliability?
Edit: Just had a look at the rebuild process for one, looks surprisingly simple for an old Italian machine!
Was actually having a look on BB, though I don't think I'd be allowed the amount of kitchen real estate that those machines would take up!
