A couple weeks ago we bought a DeLonghi ice cream maker to go with our Delonghi espresso machine, bought last autumn. (I’d owned a steam espresso machine for 10 years without knowing that a real pump espresso unit will deliver coffee as good as the best coffee house can make it.) Anyway, this week the espresso maker started pumping out this electrical smoke. Did you ever see the wiring in a FIAT? If you buy something Italian, you know this day is coming. Who knows how much longer it will last? DeLonghi is an entry-level machine, though. Anyone know where I can get a Rancilio Silvia or Saeco Classico at a decent price in Japan?

You mean one of the lever models? The Europiccola is cheaper than that, so you must mean the Romantica line, ã�? That’s a serious machine. I’ve seen some good ebay prices on the Club Combo Duet machine, which looks really good. Thanks for the Saeco info.
