I saw this in the Ballard Goodwill store the Saturday before Christmas. I took this picture thinking, "the folks on HB will surely know what this is." Your wife must have picked it up later that afternoon. Another funny thing is that I had just come from Home Espresso Repair, after dropping off our Gaggia for repair.

Wow, that is just wild! Yes, that is Enrico, looking rather desheveled. And it was located right down the street from the Home Espresso Repair.

It will get more cleaning stuff run through it today and perhaps will get to push out some coffee. No hurries, no worries. PC, I will take some photos and post them.
There is more to coffee than espresso.

Okay, here is a family portrait from the kitchen:

Thor, Trosser, Enrico (with a little polish on his snout and wand), Kona freshly roasted (thanks Behmor!), Gaggia, and some new cups/saucers. Does it get any better?

Notice how a 68mm PF compares to a 51mm PF?

This retro hobby is way cool (beans).

As a math teacher it must be rewarding to experience the positive outcomes in probability...... with effort comes results.

A nice family- you may have to re-name Enrico after the Missus...
