Going to Florence...
I just came back from a week in Rome and to my taste the espresso you get virtually at any bar is excellent; I would say "jaw-dropping" be it ristrettos or a cappuccinos. I was surprised at the level and consistency of quality from bar to bar. The froth quality of the milk was outstanding also. Most...

I love my Cimbali Max Hybrid, but . . . I got a "new" Mahlkönig Vario
Very convenient Mark; especially in your case with those cabinet doors. See through might have been prettier though or is it the picture

Eric's thermocouple adapter on my Faema Enova
Hi, I don't think a PID is very practical on a HX machine. Others might think otherwise. Knowing the group temperature allows me to pull consistent shots. A smaller thermometer would be nice though

Eric's thermocouple adapter on my Faema Enova
