@thebigspendur: What makes you say that? Personal experience or? From the reviews I've read at coffeegeek.com, it seems that the kitchenaid one is very good quality and seems to be prefered to the Solis Maestro Plus (which is the one I was considering at first).

@rickw: Good point with the electricity part. I hadn't really thought about that. But I think I can get an adapter... Is the US on 110V 60Hz? Or?
