What pasta machine?

As above. We inherited a Jamie Oliver pasta machine (roller, not an all-in-one), and have been enjoying learning how to make fresh pasta. 3 meals in, getting progressively better and we've managed to break it

There's a funny lip after the roller which is a bit of horizontal metal that has been bent out towards the rollers, so just catches the pasta as it goes through. Doh

I did a quick search and Imperia seem to be well recommended. Any others decent?

I am happy with mine. It was cheaper from Amazon Italy

The Andrew James ones on Amazon have good reviews - have one on my Christmas wishlist.

I use this one - http://www.lakeland.co.uk/12417/Pasta-Machine

Not had any issues with it and it feels very robust.

I use the Marcato Atlas. It's good.

Used to go through a good 5kg+ a day, Imperia never missed a beat!

Thanks guys. There's a good kitchen shop just down from my work that has the Imperia at £51 so that's a pretty fair price. I'm assuming there's only the one 'model' they make?

My girlfriend decided to promise homemade pasta to our guests this weekend so I best buy it today!
