Best wishes with the move and the slow shake-out after. I;ve done a fair number in my time.

Cheers

First time for me in 30 years... WOW what a chore it is. Home sold very quickly... but the move is gong to be challenging... especially now that I will be going from one storage area to another... that is until we find a home.

Tuscon!!!! Geez, you are doing what we are thinking of doing now that we had our first snowfall! When you get up to Phoenix, check of the Lux....amazing lever only coffee shop...located 4404 North Central Avenue. Two winters ago we went there 5 times and then backtracked from Flagstaff to go twice more. Phoenix is total sprawl and in a realm of its own but for we would consider moving there just for the Lux. We did not find espresso nirvana in Tuscon but maybe YOU will!

Thanks Doug, I have been so busy with the new job that I have not had alot of time for getting around to the local shops. But once the wife is down and we get a bit more settled I will be sure to find out what is what down here. Thanks for the tip in Phoenix. I have not been up there yet but I hear traffic is a nightmare.

Just read through your thread, at the suggestion of DrGary.

Very nice work on your machine. My hat's off to you. You did a great job and it looks absolutely gorgeous!

Bob,

As another Cremina and Cimbali Junior owner, I'd love to hear you thoughts of the two machines.

The Cimbali Junior that I have is the grinder. Don't know why they would make a grinder and a espresso machine with the same name... Other than the DT who would know...
But I love my Creminas...
