New S1 Rossini owner - Any other Rossini owners here?

[eskilbrun]

I just bought a S1 Rossini. It is made in 2011. So far I have not had much time with the machine but I will post my experiences with it.
The machine has only a single boiler that is used for both steam and espresso brewing. But the temperature controls are the same.
I drink mostly espresso but also make cappucinos and lattes for my girlfriend and guests

From La Spaziale I got the owners manual as a PDF.

It seems like the S1 Rossini is the S1 familys younger brother that nobody talks about. For instance, I do not really know where to post on this forum regarding Rossini stuff. Any tips? Should I stay with the General Q&A section for my posts?

My very first espresso shots were much better than what I got from my old machine (a Gaggia Baby twin) so I am happy with getting the S1 Rossini and I think it is a very good entry-level machine in the S1 family.
