I had spent some time trying to find the perfect machine, upgrading from a Gaggia Classic. The Rubino is an amazing machine in that it combines the versatility of a heat exchanger with a very high quality finish, at a price that offers hands down the best value in the ~$1500 category. Even when comparing it to slightly more expensive machines, it has impressive technical specs, most prominently its 1500 Watt heating element. My experience with Cliff & Pebble was seamless and I would highly recommend them.
