Has anyone shopped from both nuova ricambi and ascaso? How do their
prices compare?

Sorry, a bit more detail from me would have been better:
I am restoring 3 old lever machines. I have bought from NR in the
past, their minimum at that time was 100euro. Tallying up my wishlist,
according to a NR price guide I will be spending about 500 euro. I
have registered a cash sales acc at ascaso but not yet placed an order.
I am in NZ, so postage will add another 100 euro to anything I buy
anyway.
Thanks for your comments Ken re the quality of ascaso parts. I was
unaware of that.
cheers
Paul

Does Ascaso sell directly to end users? NR has a minimum order, which
eliminates many customers. The quality of Ascaso parts varies and for
somethings you may want better knockoff parts, if that is what you seek.
If you are located in the USA, consider espressoresource.com , the company
owned by our friends Michael Teahan and Angelo Minicozzi. If you are in the
business, you could qualify for a wholesale account, and in that case I
doubt you would beat their landed USA prices in any event. Michael and
Angelo are careful about the quality of the parts they buy, which (by
report) often excludes Ascaso knockoff versions.

p.s. their website is a work in progress; you will probably benefit from

Have bought from Dom before and I highly rate his service but I would
rather just cut out the middleman for a reasonable order (from NR).
Would certainly go to him if I needed one or two bits.
