Back! :wink:

Here's my home setup: a La Valentina (with my Frabosk cups on top); Mazzer Mini and QuickMill doserless/stepless grinders; and tamper, stand and knockbox by Bumper.

In addition, I just got my hands on a "new" (1989) Olympia Caffarex for my office. It's at home now, having undergone some cosmetic cleaning; final prep work this weekend, and I hope to have it in the office by Monday.

Deal! I'm usually driving a truck fulla stuff, but I'd stop in to chat and play with your LM toys. Which LM 4, if I may be so bold?

... afraid, i saw a very, very similar setup somewhere in this thread. cheers teme :wink:

just switched to this gs/3. had a e61 legend before which was permanently located in the cellar - just too big for a kitchen. traded in the legend for another upcoming legend: the gs/3 which replaced the formerly kitchen standing la cimbali junior dt/1.

ausgesichnet, Herr bassato! Love the lack of clutter and everything is so clean and shiny. Nice contrast to the beautiful wood grain in the background.

I don't think this is eye opening or anything, but just bought this about a week or so ago and gotta say that I'm loving it so far.

When people ask what the GS/3 has that the LaSpaz don't have?, I'll be tempted to answer think 3-5-8 years ahead and link to the picture of bernies nice machine:

It is posted in another thread, or two. But I just had to gloat post. Can you see the espresso machines through the forest of grinders? But alas, they are not all my machines, just loaners for testing.

A lot of GS3's showing up, but I have also noticed none of them are in the USA. I wonder who will be the first to drop the bloated $8000 for one.

Very nice setup, bassato!
That kit is so inviting to walk up, pull a double and walk away with the puck still smoking in the knockbox... 8)
