You might have just found the world's most perfect example of form over function!

I'll admit it: I think this thing is really cool and I'm happy it exists.

Good news, everyone! Arist will finally be shipping to Kickstarter backers in June 2015 October 2015 September 2016 April 2017! And the machines will only be missing half the original promised features!

Lol. I watched the video. Another cinematic masterpiece from Arist. An Oscar for best comedy!

First time saw this Faema Lambro with E61 ( weird )

The title of the listing is "Faema Lambro Hybrid"

The description is as follows:

"An interesting [commercial] espresso machine Faema Lambro model, originally a lever, from the early 60's, a collector's item; the heating element, pressurestat, mercury switches and the entier electrical system are functioning at 220V, the case is conserved with its original color; the lever group was swapped out with an e61 (little lever)", therefore it needs an external volumetric pump to function (not included) just like a modern semiautomatic machine.

No water comes out of the group, it probably needs to be descaled and cleaned. At any rate the machine in my opinion will make a great restoration project.
The photos included are integrated with the description and represent the item being auctioned."

There is finally an update and some closure on all the shady tax evasion business during Nick Cho's tenure at Murky Coffee.
