Your name inside...gosh I have a pool cue that has that...made back in the early '70's, a "Palmer Supreme"...worth $$ as a collectable these days. How's it play? Like hitting with a piece of pipe... My Keith Josey custom has a much better feel.
The cuisinart is a "Pump" machine...so Harddrive, be prepared for some funny noises if you opt for that one...but you'll be amazed how much smoother the result is over the Krupps...somehow, the bitterness gets removed.

The name on the inside is a Production thing..like Porsche putting a number under the Dash of the car on the production line...you know better PWD..
I have $1800 in my Salvatore and Mazzer...used everyday for 6.75 years and figure the alternative of 2 Lattes a day at a low of $2 a throw at a Coffee Emporium. How long would it take for the machina to pay for itself...
As STATED sometimes it is worth putting out the dinero for something that gets used...and the quality of the product can be tasted.
However PWD you would be making a big mistake to think I am Mr Yuppy conspicuous consumption..
For instance I don't believe in buying the TOP O THE LINE when it comes to appliances....Basic Heavy Duty model is where I go..My little bread Toaster is the cheapest model available..cost $7.00 it gets the job done..
Why the Salvatore...because it is the Basic Heavy Duty Unit..rock solid at nearly 60 lbs,handbuilt..commercial parts..built to last...no cheap Plastic or Pot metal parts...SS, brass and copper...built the old fashion way with care and pride...that in todays mass produced throw away world costs money...
