Do you like hot-rodding machines or do you just want one that works well?
Just one that works well - I would rather have not taken it apart but even if I bought a replacement frame I'd need to do that. But replacement frames are pricey and I've found no evidence Rancilio have changed how they're made, so the same thing could easily happen again.

Do you like hot-rodding machines or do you just want one that works well? Seems you like hot-rodding given the blurb so I'd spend the money on this one. I bought up and up and now my machine is too big and annoying to take apart and play with so I don't.
