Betitna at Hudsons Bay, Vancouver showed it to us. A beautiful lady, she has the same name as our Godsister, Bettina Socal. Dominic Socal, our Godfather, a Sicilian, ran a tight, clean house. It was amazing that anyone could keep a house so clean and tight.
In Vancouver, JJ Bean on Cambie has a similar room (try a Johnnie 5, 5 pump espresso), though with age, it may not be the same. It was notable for the fireplace (nice choice and taste), good taste, and a selection of games.
Ok, it's a Neospresso Breville Creatista Plus ($799.00 CDN) by Breville.
What's missing is the Milk Frother ($99.00 CDN).
She served us a Cappucino, 2-oz coffee, 2-oz milk. The coffee was Apfelstrudel and we could not get the name of the Milk. It was served in a Neospresso Cup, with a Neospresso Saucer and Spoon with a Tube of Sugar, on the side. The taste was fine, with no major quality differentiation between it and Long Americano at Cafe Calabria on Commercial Drive (the best LA in town).
You could have it every day with no problem or issue.
We'll have to experiment with the espresso, though. Something fuetre. For that, we may need another machine.
You could get it as our recommendation for a desktop machine instead of the Citz (and Milk) but the Citz has a very good base.
Hmm. It's your call, but the Breville has very good component quality. Krupps, also. (See Falcon...)
A perfect (and necessary) companion to the Neospresso Breville Creatista Plus in Metal Stainless Steel ($799.00 CDN) then is the Neospresso Milk Frother ($99.00 CDN).
As a complimentary purchase, you may wish to also get the also slim De'Longhi Dedica EC.680 MB Pump Espresso ($379.99 CDN) for the kitchen.
A complimentary (and necessary) companion to the De"longhi Dedica EC.680 MB Pump Espresso is the Breville Conical Burr Grinder BCG450XL ($109.00 CDN). You can get a better, bigger grinder, but why would you bother? What you want is a Conical Burr Mill Grinder, and this Breville has that.
We like Breville as for us it is like the brief, concise writing of Hemingway (Old Man in the Sea).
Neospresso brings out the Little Italy in us.
