It's not even hooked up yet, and the grinder is an oily mess. I'm scared I might blow the kitchen breakers... Definitely excited about this project though. It's a 2000 GL1 with matching-ish grinder.

Nice looking T1! You can remove one leg of the three heater elements fairly easy (and reverse the change just as easily) and run it on a 15 Amp circuit like I've done to my T1. You might want to insulate the boiler if you do this.

Skip the mini and get a second hand SuperJolly. You can get them cheaper and it produces a noticeably better cup, although they do take more space.

Hi all,
May we play as well?
This is our temporary set up.
The Vibiemme might be put on the market in the near future, or might not. It's a nice machine, and I like it for what it is...
The Linea needs a new table/work bench, but at the moment this old shabby table will have to do.
Sorry for the crappy photo. Had to do some long exposure shots in the evening to limit the glear from the window.

Martian,
Wow! Great setup.

The view is amazing! Sure beats the heck out of my dead grass and my neighbor's roof.

Yes, that is a very nice set up, Martian, and a great view. The time you spent taking the photo was well worth it.

Thanks.

The view is nice. But the sun hits the stainless steel from about 08:00 to 17-00, so pulling shots can sometimes be a challenge. Sunglasses are mandatory :)
