chlorox How would you compare rhe vectis with an argos or with a ponce vecchio export? Apart from the much cheaper prices of the latter…the price of the vectis would certainly rule it out for me as a second espresso machine but something maxing out at 1k usd would be a lot more palatable if I should ever want to add an office lever machine
I’m not sure who the question is aimed at. I reviewed and extensively used a Ponte Vecchio Lusso 1 and a La Pavoni Cellini…but of course have never used a Vectis, just seen the reviews, the inside of the machine and have a firm technical understanding of how these machines work. So I can’t easily compare except to refer to my post above on information gleaned from the Daddys got coffee review https://coffeetime.freeflarum.com/d/2153-why-you-might-not-want-to-buy-a-londinium/39
The two machines I reviewed would not be suitable for a general office, as they don’t lend themselves to multiple people using them, and with the exception of the Ponte Vecchio Lusso one, don’t appreciate being on all day. In addition having any of these 2 machines I reviewed in an office poses a potential safety risk, beyond that of a normal coffee machines. Unless it’s a single or 2 person office, where both people have been trained and are totally familiar with the usage of such a machine.
