Richard Burton Visitor	Introducing the ECM Botticelli II - 2006/10/04 09:11 This thread discusses the Content article: Introducing the ECM Botticelli II Hi Colin, Thanks for answering my email the other day. Just a couple more questions regarding this machine. 1) I read that the steam wand is fixed. In your opinion, is this problematic when clearing the wand of steam at the start of a cycle (not being aimed at the tray but off to the side). 2) Just how stable was the temperature and was it warm enough. You mentioned that it was a bit lower than what you normally like but that it wasn't problematic. Could you elaborate a little bit more. Most Silvia reviews seem to imply that you need to temp surf the Silvia to get good/excellent results. Does the thermometer eliminate the need for temperature surfing? 3) How was the fit of the portafilters. There are very few reviews for this machine, and another review I read suggested that the fit wasn't snug enough. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Subject: Re:Help: Cafe Roma vs. Starbucks Sirena - by: Bobby
Since you've posted in the $400 I'd say return the Breville and get a single boiler machine. In this price range you can easily get an entry level Saeco or Gaggia, or a lesser known name like Moki...
