It was truly a dream for me as well! I was stumbling around wide-eyed. I hope you have the chance to do the same at some point!

Any other thoughts about the Elektra Semi-Automacitca machines, and or the Verticale machines?

The Microcasa series is a pretty known machine on this Forum and is what I would call a well made small manual lever machine, but I know almost nothing about the quality and serviceability of the others.

any thoughts??

I believe Jim ("another_jim") used to own said machine. I love the look of it!

I too liked the looks, it sort of grew on me since initially I thought to a bit ornate, but after living with "Boxes" and their square shiny exteriors I am wanting a bit more.

Whether it is a Lever or a Pump I have not made up my mind.
