Hi there..

I purchased a St/A leveler as I thought it was a good idea...Then I saw how much they were removing from my account..!...lol Having said that it is a beautifully made piece of kit. Workmanship is surely in world class. BUT... Is it any better than probably ALL of these things?? I would suggest not. As long as there is adjustment that is easy,it has a smooth base and it fits into your PF snuggly then this is ALL you [we] need. All of the hype and hoopla over this things comes from retailers and people making money by telling us how fantastic they are and how their coffee has been revolutionized because of this new "tool"
Well thats my take on it. Im very happy with what I purchased but was it money well spent??...mmmm

Great coffee/espresso has been made for many many years...long before these things were ever invented.
