hi there, a bit of history. started it all with a moka pot. then bought an Bosch Barino espresso machine. then went the full automatic route, owning a Krups XP7200. then, i found out espresso forums. okaaaaaay. hello, Gaggia Classic! very nice, this is it! nope... i need OPV adjusted. okay. no wait, i need a PID! okay. this is it! nope... hello Rancilio Silvia! wow! that's a well made machine! this is it! nope.. basic PID, then meCoffee PID. this is it! well you got the idea... hello my first HX machine! LaScala Butterfly! this should be it, else my girlfriend would kick me out from my own house... thus, this is my setup, at the very moment: La Scala Butterfly and a Mazzer Mini. oh, and have i told you in my country there is no market of espresso machines? i had to get into my car and drive to next country (that one is in EU) and get one. always. so, it wasn't easy, and it won't, unfortunately. hello?..

Hi. I'm thinking to upgrade my Gaggia Classic. My first choice was Fracino Cherub, but suddenly I found this one on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/La-Scala-Butterfly-Cappuccino-Machine-Professional-Tested-and-Working-/112139579262?hash=item1a1c0a2f7e:g:vKwAAOSwTA9X3VRz Does anyone know anything about this machine? It's HX and has E61 group and probably over 15 years old. So what would be a better buy, this one from ebay or slightly used (if I can find one at all) Cherub? Thanks.
