Paul, I'd love to have an idea of the cleanup procedure.
Is it similar to the Gilda's, or perhaps simplified?
Thanks.

There was just an Instagram post update earlier today.

Sorry missed your message. Clean up is the same as a standard 58mm machine. Just knock out the dry puck, comes out like a brownie.

Just waiting for the aluminium casting company to start work. I tried to speed it up with having a powder coated finish which has given it a much nicer surface anyway. Polishing alumnium these days is not all that common and not easy to find.

Paul, the green powder coat looks terrific. Will you offer other colors too? I'm also glad to see the Instagram post about a lubed bronze bearing for durability. That should give it a very solid feel too.

I like the powder coated finish, but will the polished aluminum still be an option?

Hi Paul,

Any additional tests on heat stability now with the stainless steel portafilter and other parts?

How far out is production and sale do you imagine?

Paul,

Wondering the same about temps and timeframe, but also curious of what dosing and shot capabilities are like. Can we dose ~20g if we want (lighter roasts) and pull greater than 1:2?

Thanks!
