Do I need a double boiler?
QUESTION:Upgrade fever and leaving PID'd Silvia for either double boiler or hx
machine. I have a budget of around $2000 and want to be able to pull
great shots and easily make milk-based drinks - in fact, I'm mostly a
latte gal. I'd like to be able to pull back to back shots and steam at
the same time. Can't plumb in.
I'm leaning toward a La Valentina but wondering if I really should go
with a dual boiler like the Brewtus II. Width an issue, can't go wider
than 13 inches.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
ANSWER: Got your hands full. Between commercial and consumer reviews, a nice
balance should be available. I'd approach from the greater number,
narrow the choices, and note the dates especially for late updates.
Hit the trade publication reviews or links provided by the
manufacturer to flesh them out. Last, a selection may include a wide
support base of endusers and specific sites to determine maintenance
factors and machine characteristics.
Here's as good a start as any -
