Bezzera Family from the ground up (completed)
I have to get a pinhole fixed on the boiler. I have zero skills and a few of the plumbing stores I tried had no idea what I was taking about. Once the semester ends, I'll try taking it to my schools maker space and hope someone there is willing to take on the project

Can you fabricate some similar wands with a modern steam tip? I'd buy some to help off-set the costs

Which Lever?
I dunno about others but I can make espresso in 10 minutes with the Cremina (even faster with the Export ). Both are capable. I also have a La Spaziale s1 (it's old but a tank). Coffee is much better from the levers but, like others say, when I'm sleepy I like having a no fuss machine
