You're right about the temperatures.  Every cup I've ever had from a superauto has been almost luke-warm...definitely not hot.  Not sure if that's because the distance from brew head to cup is too long, or the brew temp is just too low.  I'll read up on this....Bosch seems to be addressing this in their machines....better grinder too - conical burrs.

An Anita would just duplicate what we already have in the Giotto.  Something totally different would be in order, but not to replace the Giotto - no way! I love that machine, and you'd have to pry it from my dying fingers before I gave it up.
