I have an original Faema baby Faemina for sale and it's chock full of extras. I am moving from a house to an apartment and don't have room for some of my babies anymore. The design that launched the Cafelat Robot, this machine is exactly the same process and produces a great shot. I upgraded everything to

Thank you Jeff for the interesting information, I have seen the prices of citric acid powder and it is very affordable compared to conventional and sponsored products.

Instead of fixing the machine or figuring out what's wrong with it, one of their liquor distributors just give them a new one. I am new to espresso machines and

Thank you!

Thanks! Have you used it for pour over?
