I've noticed, but it only cost me £35 so I can't really complain - and it's taught me how to make the best of a bad job. I will probably upgrade in the next couple of years, but even for a Gaggia Classic you're looking at £250. I may as well save a little longer and go for a Pavoni...
£35? Fair enough, that's a bargain! The la pavoni are beautiful to look at but I have a friend who has one and it's a bit if a bitch to use, quite hard to get consistently good shots. I'd say a gaggia classic is a good bet or if you can spend more then a Rancillo silvia is the next obvious step up. That what I got a couple of years ago and I love it!
