I am looking to buy an espresso machine. I am thinking seriously about the Pavoni 16 c piston machine in brass. I am friendly w/ a restaurant equpment dealer who bought an automatic machine for his personal use and never used it. He offered it to me for sale but I cannot find out any details about this machine. I know it isn't the same as the Pavoni but it looks like a good machine. He sent me pictures,it looks new as he said. The brand is Linea Scanno/Centro Cafe(model.It has a grinder built into the unit. Please help w/ specs., details/ repair history or anything that would help me to make a decision. Thank You, Harry
