Not just a purchase option. Apparently they'd gotten a few complaints about the stock wood quality fit and finish. I received an email yesterday they are offering replacement wood pieces to those who already purchased a Vesuvius at no charge. Way to go Chris Coffee.cannonfodder wrote:Been a busy couple weeks. 180 parts for ChrisCoffee. A soon to be option for the Vesuvius espresso machine.

Sounds like I will be turning a lot of additional parts.

Remember when the best camera you had was not built into your cell phone? This is a nice block of cocobolo. The wood was quite wet so I had to let it sit for a couple weeks to make sure the shape was stable and it was not going to crack. Developed into a nice brick red color with a little figure mixed in it.

Interesting. How did the brown tones come about rather than the usual red?

Unique block of wood. Never seen one like that before, probably will not see another.
