Always happy to see more levers showing up in North Florida---especially a nice Cremina like that. Looks like a fortunate "accident!"

Thanks! Yes, it took me about two weeks to take a reasonable shot. Now I think im doing OK.

I struggle a bit with the latte though, when i steam the milk it gets foamy but still too liquid.. Any tips would be most welcome :)

Jacob: Thanks for the photos of that rare La Pavoni! How is temperature management with the temp strips?

Joao: Those Elektras are great for steaming microfoam. If you look at FAQs in the Tips & Techniques forum you'll see lots of good info on milk texturing.
