1. What a great pasta machine!
After reading several reviews on slightly cheaper models and considering the advice given in Marcella Hazan's "Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking", I chose this model. It sat under the cabinet for 3 weeks after I bought it because life's demands didn't afford any time to play with my new toy. I finally scored a Saturday with nothing else to do and pulled it out of the cabinet. Here are a few observations:
1. This model is a product of Italy and the instructions (which are written in several languages) are written in poor English. Since the product is a simple design, I found that I didn't really need the instructions to figure out how to assemble the double cutter attachment. Thankfully, attaching the double cutter is the only assembly required.
2. The pasta machine came with a recipe for pasta dough. The recipe was also written in several languages but the English instructions were a bit clearer than the assembly instructions. I didn't use the recipe provided...
2. The BEST choice
Before purchasing the Imperia, I AGONIZED for weeks over which pasta machine to buy. I have a KitchenAid stand mixer and I considered getting the pasta roller set for that because I figured it would be a strenuous job to hand crank. The problem was that I didn't know if I'd really like homemade pasta (I'd never had it before) and those rollers are about twice the price of the manual machines, depending on which one you buy. I didn't want to waste a bunch of money and then find out that I hate making pasta. Plus, I wanted the machine to be mobile since I plan on using it at friends' houses for dinner parties. Hauling my mixer is out of the question.
I almost bought one of the cheaper manual machines (PastaFresh or Roma), but finally decided on the Imperia because it was "middle of the road" in price and the others got almost equal amounts of bad reviews as they did good reviews. I'm so happy with this machine! The instructions are a bit iffy (impossible, really) but...
