I got bored of the chrome so decided a trip to the powder coaters was in order....

William -- that's excellent! Orange is definitely my color. Is the rest black or gray, or is it just the lighting?

Thanks - really happy with it. It's black grey, RAL code 7021.

Got some foam tape on the way to providing some dampening on drip dray etc, then if i do the steam wand mods that should be me done messing with it for a while.

Picked this up at a too good to pass price (a lot less than I could find a used gaggia classic for). Few quirks but pretty solid. Rewire and a few internal component changes planned to smooth out functionality a bit.

Here's a quick one of the setup. The Anita will be replaced with the recently completed Junior,

Psh, very nice!

That is one exceptionally shiny Anita my friend. My machines look like that about once a month

Everyone's setup looks so clean! Impressive!

Here is my very first machine. I've had it in my hands for the past 4 weeks, but have just got it assembled and up and running 3 days ago. I'm quite happy!

The current iteration:

The cabinet below holds all the other stuff. Coffee, more cups, portafilters and baskets, etc. Also a bunch more brewing devices. Overall I like the setup. I wish I wasnt lazy with plumbing and draining, but Ive gotten used to filling and emptying again. Currently the only reason I want to hook up a flojet is so I can do line pressure pre-infusion, far as filling the tank goes, I dont mind, I just top it off at the start. I do remember how lovely a plumbed machine was though.. soon Ill take care of it. So, yeah, thats the current setup. Who knows what Ill change next.

-You might notice Ive gone a little scale happy.. Yes, this is true. The scale with the white bowl is AC powered, its for weighing beans for brewing, and checking the dosed PF. The Hario scale is used during the brewing process. And the 2kg AWS pocket scale on the right of the duetto, is for weighing extractions. There is another pair of scales tucked away that used to be used for weighing the beans for single dosing the K10, which I dont do anymore.

A two-group commercial machine -- you don't mess around! I'll be interested to follow your learning curve on your other thread.

Thank you Gary! I'll make sure to update it regularly. I think I should actually change the title of that thread to something more appropriate since I've answered most of my questions.

I've been a lurker for quite some time and have drawn inspiration from all the posts on this thread. I'm glad I finally brought up the nerve to create an account and give back to the community!

Cheers!

Sebastian
