Don't fear the mini-VII

[ebohling]

I know many on this forum swear by their plumbed in VII and granted I would have gotten one if plumbing was an option. HOWEVER, after 3 hours of dialing everything in today and countless shots I do not at all find filling the reservoir a hassle. Coming from using the Rancilio Silvia for nearly 4 years, the large reservoir in the mini-VII is an absolute dream...access couldn't be easier.

Bottom line: do NOT steer clear of the mini-VII just because you cannot plumb a VII. As an added bonus the drip tray is massive...I never once had to empty the drip tray even after always doing a 2 oz flush after each shot.
