Good news lever fans, I've negotiated the furlough of the Olympia Cremina from Steve's kitchen for EspressoFest:

Of course, anyone planning to actually touch it is expected to wear cotton gloves. Many thanks to Jim at 1st-line equipment for the loaner!

At Dan's urging, I'm posting a teaser.

Just got this working, it'll be at espresso fest - hopefully still working...

Thanks Lino for sharing a glimpse of your project (codename Flux Capacitor)! Sean has his own project, codename Monolith. You can see both in action during the Mr. Wizard's Lab session and also during the adhoc track. Bring your cameras boys and girls, nobody will believe you otherwise. :shock:

Lino and Sean,

For those who could not make it to Espressofest, can you provide some details on the espresso machines you brought ? I'm really interested in any details your are willing to share.

Sean - is the 'monolith' a modified Brewtus?


Thanks

Okay, it's a while back now, but I'm still interested to hear about Lino's cool looking contraption. Especially if it has a grate over the drip tray now ;P

This is an old thread - but I'd also like to hear about Lino's flying machine ---
