Hi everyone, Sorry for the delays in replies. Life has been crazy for awhile now. Sold two houses at once, moved to temp house (i.e. Family's house) all while building a new house. Anyway, we have decided to delete the water source in the kitchen, and to get a Londinium R and move it into the

Very familiar with levers, so I think the Londoninum would be fine in that regard, I think the concern there is space more than anything. While I have a lot of family here, realistically I think the most I would do is five back to back since not all of them are coffee drinkers. My initial

I have a vintage cast iron Beatrice (similar to a Spong) which works amazingly well for espresso. I've used it for the past few years without issue, it's massive burrs work quick and produces a consistent grind. I also just bought a Sette 270 a couple of weeks ago, and am enjoying that as well

Hi All, I am currently in the midst of having a new home built, and as a treat to myself I'm looking to get a higher end espresso machine. It took a lot of convincing the wife, but I somehow also got her to agree to it as well having the water source plumbed... Currently, I use

I'll be there! Thanks for attending. See you Friday

I will be attending on Friday, I live about 1.5hrs away

Hi All, I was wondering, what is the volume of your espresso shots with a vintage Europiccola? I am getting 1.45 - 1.5 oz pulls using a larger basket and ~14-15g of ground espresso. Is there a method I can use to get 2oz out of a pull? Or is is simply, that these machines only push

Thanks, I just placed an order for that velcro. =)

I just worked on adding this mod to my '78 Europiccola... I did a few things differently than others thus far, figured I would share them.
