1959 Faema Urania Three Group Hydraulic with Hotel Group

I broke my back moving this machine, but I am happy to present one of the wildest Faema Uranias I've ever seen; two hydraulic groups and one hotel group (I DO have the glass, it's in shipment still). The entire shipment was 285lb/130kg. It withstood some abuse, but it survived the journey. I saw the machine for sale twice prior

Weber key issue

Hi there So I've had my key for a few months now and I have ran into some minor issues. First one is that the dial ring moves upwards when adding the beans. According to Weber it's due to force being applied due to density of the bean. But it's not enough to disable the dial and move up. Has

Checking Bezzera Strega P/I and Brew Pressure with Portafilter Pressure Gauge

Mobile or hotel room brewing?

Domobar Jr Hx Temps

A PID on an HX machine doesn't remove the requirement for managing the brew temperature yourself. See, for example, "HX Love - Managing the Brew Temperature" Regrettably, both the manometer and the temperature gauge go in the same hole.
