In terms of value for money and the coffee you can make it would be hard to better that combination for the price. 1

But there's not many used ones of these around and I'm far too mean to buy new.Thanks @@Nap250 - they're on my watch lists. @@dwbc - yes I'm checking in to coffeesnobs - great resource. It's amusing to see grown men spending so much time talking about modifying gear, upgrades and 5% improvements for 3 times the cost. Oh, hang on its just like SNA. 2
