Embracing Espresso Excellence: A Glowing Review of the Ponte Vecchio Export Lever Espresso Machine

Great thread but shhhhh!!!! Don't let the secret out! Export is the best looking compact lever. And I now have a '80 Cremina, which everyone lusts over. Export was my first lever and it still makes amazing espresso in under 10 minutes. It's got the best aesthetics too. Today, I used my Cremina but
