Hi All,
I'm about to leave town (NYC) for most of the summer and my beloved Bezzera Unica will be in storage for almost 4 months. I'll miss her dearly although being in Italy for most of the summer - and having easy access to the best espresso - will alleviate the pain. My...
Good morning HB! I've owned this Vetrano for over 10 years now. Thanks to things like moving a few times, getting divorced, opening a business, it's been sadly neglected. It hasn't pulled a shot in at least the last 3 years.

Wow, I just turned my Synchronika steam boiler temperature up to 270 degrees from where it had been, around 254, and what a difference! A little research told me that in 2018 there was an upgrade kit with PID & a valve for those who wanted this upgrade. The new ones come this...
I got my Breville Dual Boiler back in late fall of 2011. I was getting ready for a promotion at work that I was going to celebrate with a saturated brew group machine, probably a GS/3 because of their value in comparison to the single group Cyncra (that I really wanted) and...
