Fitting Sproline Foam Knife / Vortex Steam Wand Tip to Pasquini Livia 90

Hi HB, Wondering if it is possible to fit the Sproline Foam Knife / Vortex Steam Wand Tips to a Pasquini Livia 90. I assume I will need an adapter as the Spoline's are made for LM machines...but has anyone ever try this? Relatedly, does anyone have a Livia 90? I am buying this as a gift

Owner experience with Londinium I

I went with the 83mm HG one...so to the extent possible I'll try and describe (or maybe video) how hard it is to crank. I won't be able to directly compare it to a 71mm because I won't have one, but if anyone in Toronto orders a 71mm version and wants to do a side by side test video I'm

Owner experience with Londinium I

Nice looking shot redpig! OK, newbie question. As previously noted, I am moving from a super-automatic to the L1. I've ordered an L1 and HG One grinder, but I am now looking for advice on specific accessories - and ideally specific brands that make good quality/the best accessories. What products do...

Owner experience with Londinium I

Nothing special...a super-automatic Saeco. The Talea Giro Plus. It has been a good machine, but I'm moving in a whole new direction with more interest in preparing the shots myself. If anyone wants it...PM me. It's also already up on Kijiji and CL in Toronto. Also have a Moccamaster for drip. Which ...

If my ordering experience is any indication of what's to come I am very excited. Reiss must have answered twenty questions for me before I pu...
