Mmmm. GS/3.

Well, since I had to forgo the GS3, I thought I should at least show why. This morning at 10am I became the happy owner of a redwood forest. It's bare land. So my first shot of espresso will be powered by a bank of batteries. But I'm thrilled. A fifteen year search has finally ended.

Like learning espresso, some things take time. I guess the GS3 will have to wait. But they sure look nice.Image

hmm.. redwood aye? Has anyone ever made an entirely wooden espresso machine? Well only the frame and panels etc, not sure how well a redwood boiler would work :p.

Theres a challenge for you - first person to build a wooden espresso machine wins a prize!

As soon as I finish my house, I'll get right on it.

Mmm, the nice woody taste of tan bark.


Oh, I almost forgot. The neighbor is the local coffee roaster. Thanksgiving Coffee, if I recall. How cool is that?

Sharp eyes!

Walked up to it one morning to find it split into a "group ring" and a group cap. Suspect the heat from the group head caused the plastic fatigue from the frequent on/off use. I expected better material used by LM. :(

JV!
Hats off to you! I love the idea of having a pro machine in the house (or home office). why did you go for the two group instead of one group if the machine is for home use?
