Cool, congrats! This slender look and commercial group reminds me a lot of the DIY Dipper Lever btw.

Looks to have a adjustable thermostat with a bolt-in sensor, and a hot water wand. Is this a dipper-style too, or does it even have a boiler? Plumb in needed? It'll be interesting to know how the brew temp is managed.

Thanks for sharing! Sorry that can't offer much about the brand with my limited knowledge.

Nice machine, Pascal has the same model. Mine was the larger version with a boiler and a standard dipper group. Yours looks like it has the original tamper.

Hi Paul,

Could you make a picture from the dispersion screen pls? I think my Jollyna doesn't have the original one. It's not a tight fitting screen.

That's very cool! I really like the compact levers with a bit commercial group.

Is it very tippy when you pull the lever? I had to add weight when I made my DIY lever to keep it from tipping.

Hi Curtis,

Yes, it's a great combination: small footprint and huge group. Funny. No problem with tipping (I saw your weights

). The only issue is a slightly week frame. I should consider to make it more stiff. All respect to your DIY lever project.

Cheers

Wooooohooooo Brother Pascal!

Insaaane. Somebody out there with the same lever. I'm so happy. Almost in the neighborhood. May I drop by

? Bad news/good news: I have the same dispersion screen. Is yours a thight fitting one? Without group gasket the shower screen fits very loosely (on my Jollyna). But may be I just need a different type of group gasket. It was a plain O-ring.

Cheers
