New espresso machine

[Brentano]

Has anyone already tested this fancy Espresso Machine ? It ishorribly expensive, but I am not sure whether it is worth the money. The Jura is half the price and it is also reliable. Any tips?

If the first machine and the Jura are the same style/type of machine, you can make consistently average to poor drinks every time. If ease of use and consistency are your concern, these might be a good possibility. The Jura is a fairly decent machine, I don't think any of these are that sturdily built. For the $1500-$2500 price range there are much better options; it just depends on what your goal is.
