sterandazzo: The steamingpower is allright. It's no rocket, but it's not bad in any sense. The boiler itself isn't too big, but the heater element is very powerful, so the boiler is able to keep the temperature pretty steady while having the valve open (temperature indicator turns on/off/on etc. while steaming continuously). So while not beeing the most powerful one, the steamer has no temperature issues and can stay open as long as you have water in the tank. I used the PL60 for an event with 20 people and had no problems what so ever. Both boilers worked beautifully. I wasn't sure it could keep up with the workload, but in fact, the machine seemed to like it and after 20 Minutes of brewing the capuccinos tasted even better. Considering the quality and ease of maintenance, the PL60 is an absolute steal and a real workhorse nonetheless.
In my research, this machine is the cheapest dual boiler ever. Looks like the only rival it has is the SILVANO by QUICK MILL. Can anyone say about the differences between them?? Thanks a lot!
Andre Cordeiro I had a look on the QuickMill website and it states the Silvano uses a thermoblock for steam. If that's the case, the steam boiler on the PL60T will out-steam the Silvano. This is also evident from the power figures - 2,400W for the PL60T versus 1,700W for the Silvano. Of course, it's not all about power, but having strong steam makes texturing milk easy (and fast!)

Are u happy whit the steaming power?
Is it dual boiler??
Andre Cordeiro Yes.
