Lookin good! The fact that TV carafe won't fit under the filter basket is the bane of my existence!

Yeah, the Technivorm carafe is kind of a pain with the lid on. I guess I could have added a custom platform for the brewer so that the carafe would fit. Might be a modification I have to do this weekend........thanks for getting the gears turning! I still have some wood left over........

How does that toaster figure in to your coffee routine?

That is the new high tech double origin coffee roaster.

Actually, we cut the end of pop-tarts off, squeeze out the filling, then replace it with coffee beans! Roast 'em and toast 'em!

Looks good, but where is the portafilter?

I keep them in that drawer when the machine is off, since the handles stick out farther than the drip tray.

Here is my set-up on the Boat. At home I have a Nuova Simonelli Oscar and the boat I have a Victoria Arduino Venus. Notice the brass clips at the bottom keep it in place while underway. Still working on upgrading my home grinder to place the old Grinta on the boat.

Nice little setup. I have always like that hammered brass old world appearance. I think the Victoria Arduino Venus class and the Elektra Mini Vertical and Belle Epoque class are some of the nicest looking machines out there.
