Sorry for the poor lighting in the picture. The La Cimbali Max Hybrid sitting next to Silvia arrived this evening and I could not help posting my new set up. I dialed Max in on some Meritage from Cuvee Coffee, and wow, what a difference. If my espresso tasting parlance were better I would describe all of the new flavors I found. I am going to have to go back to all the blends I tried in the past and give them another shot with Max.
Oh, please ignore the Jura embarrassment to the right of Silvia. It is not mine. I swear.



I can finally get rid of these. No more WDT!

Essentially this...



I've got her setup on a quick 220 now... in my new place, she's now plumbed into a five gallon bottle with a flojet and a shurflo accumulator.

I should take a picture of that soon...

Everything in my tiny apartment seems to JUST FIT. Although I had to move my fridge to fit that there.

Sincerely,

So is it a 120V machine or are you pirating the 220?
When I had my Linea setup in out kitchen, I was able to tap into our built in electric ovens 220v.
When I set it up I knew I would have to shut the Linea down before using the oven
and sure enough I forgot. It never blew the breaker running both the oven and the linea on
one circuit. Who knew?

Well I'm impressed Namson. When I had my commercial machine in my apt. I had a heck of a time keeping the circuit breaker from blowing constantly.

I've actually got a quick 220, which combines two 110v circuits.

It's that little whitish box to the right of the machine in the second picture.
