From that blog: "coffee loses density and moisture as it ages" Really?

Me too

Yep, exactly! Francesco knows what he's doing! Do you mind sharing some info on your PID? Mine is 220V and I was going to pull the plug (ha!) on a plug adapter and a 110V heating element from Brooks

Their last update says shipping is to begin in late Feb

Thanks Gary!

Where did you get the impression that they're considering dropping the 110?

Check out the Odyssey Argos. I can't wholeheartedly recommend it without one in hand, but worth considering if you can wait

Ha! I thought so. {image} Where else would you find such an immaculate example to add to your collection? (From Francesco Ceccarelli.) Congratulations, Vlad! That is the right 1.0. I just pulled a shot on my Caravel 1.0, which is connected to a PID for excellent temperature control. The offset is about 10°F

You bring up a good point, and I actually never really looked into lever machines with a boiler. Something like this: {link} Is the main difference between 8 cup and 16 cup models boiler size? My wife complained about Crossland CC1's size and ugliness, La Pavoni looks great and doesn't take up too much space

This is the kind of remark that made take you for an engineer when I first met you... Congrats, beautiful find!
