Espresso in bed

A haven dedicated to lever espresso machine aficionados.

Here's the scene:
As usual, I turned on my Export, let it heat up, did the usual bits of business, dosed, tamped, locked in and placed a cup under the spouts. Then things got really weird: coffee started flowing from the portafilter at an alarmingly rapid rate before I had even touched the lever! I had to turn the machine off and open the steam valve to stop the flood. When I drank the brew it tasted like drip.

Luckily, I awoke from this, and after I actually got out of bed, the trusty little Sama treated me to a tasty little cappuccino :D

My next-door neighbors have a superauto; I wonder what they dream about :roll:
