I hope it was someone here..Sf Bay Area

Gaggia Commercial espresso machine - $600
Gaggia commercial espresso machine - model Orione 1G-U. In working condition - but needs service. Probably needs new seals

The original ad read "Expresso".

Phillip:

That was so tempting, wasn't it? I had to restrain myself by thinking about the other projects on my bench and let it go for some very lucky buyer. This one has the nicest commercial case of any of these I've seen.

It sure was tempting but I'm already bursting with equipment so I had to pass. Very nice Gaggia. Very nice price.

I showed this to my Wife and she said something to the effect that I already have two espresso machines.

It is beauty, but I know I don't have the room for it or the time to put into it, and I wasn't considering buying it but it is nice to see the pictures and think about it.

Such a pretty machine, and I love the orange.

I wasn't in a position to buy it, but I wanted it.

Gary and Cheri, Chris, Johnny and Jon,

What are you folks thinking? What a deal! What a machine!

OK, this is going to sound harsh, but I do it for your benefit ... no posting in the lever forum for 7 days!

Didn't see this coming,

I know I'm breaking curfew and acknowledge losing my HB cred! But it's also nice not having another project on my bench and I would not be able to talk that large box onto our kitchen countertop. Believe me, I checked. Whoever got that machine must be really happy! Now who are you already???

Yes, I'm another envious of the owner. All for the price of a regular home lever machine.

LOL... Joatmon, you killin' me. The only reason I would pass on a deal like this is if I was working on a Cremina deal. 'Nuff said...
