Hello All,
I am a new poster and reader of the board. I just joined the HX fraternity with the purchase of a lightly used Brasilia Mini-classic. It is like new and is working beautiful. It replaced a 3 year old Rancilio Silvia. The Rancilio worked so well for me that I could only go considerably up-market to find anything better. The Brasilia has exceeded my high expectations.
I will keep reading to learn from you all. I have not found much on this machine and would welcome any specific references about the mini-classic. I want to be sure I am caring for it properly. It feels entirely unstressed by my daily use. I can only drink so much coffee. I have taken to inviting friends over just to have the excuse to use it.

That is a nice looking machine. I would suggest investing in a temperature probe for the group head from Eric. I am sure he will let us know if he has one for this machine. It is extremely helpful, allowing much more precise temperature management.
