New Speedster Model in July?

Postby coffeefrog on Sat Jun 10, 2006 8:18 am

Does anyone know anything about this? http://www.la-potenza.com/33835.html suggests that there is a new Speedster edition, and a discussion on Kaffee-Netz suggests the same thing (and mentions prices like 4200 Euros). Is this just someone's fantasy or should I take it seriously?

I'm not completely sure, but I think this is a Speedster based on the LM GS3 machine. If so it'll be one hot puppy.

I have spoken to Kees and he is going to produce the Speedster and it will be La Marzocco based but I do no think it will have GS3 parts. If you want a paddle group you have to supply your own.

I emailed Kees back in April after seeing a post on coffeegeek. The new Speedster will initially use LM groups (not the paddle unless you supply one), and will later switch to a new group Kees is developing. He told me to watch his site "at the end of this year".

With external pump, full PID control, progressive preinfusion, and pre-heated water to the brew boiler, this sounds like a very exciting design. Here's hoping that the exchange rate improves a bit by then....

Long discussed.
There have even been some photos of a "mock up" with a spec card from the display in Italy (see <-).
