1958 La Cimbali Gran Luce Automatica (Hydraulic)

Loving this thread! Let me get this right - Cimballi put two identical looking caps made from different materials on the same machine?!? Italian Engineering through and through - stunningly beautiful yet wildly crazy!

Sanremo You - Single Group Espresso Machine

Mine arrived today. Requires a different water connector than my GS/3 so I'll be pulling the first shots in the morning from the tank. Much narrower than the GS/3, so there's more room on my bench. Sorry folks, I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't seem to upload images. Dan from HB sent me a note

Any experiences using a 240V EU espresso machine with a 240V outlet in the US?

Parents in US have run a U.K. kettle for over two decades this way. If it works for a kettle it will work for a machine. If you choose a U.K. machine the plug has a built in fuse - not as good as GFCI but better than a European plug without. My parents just wired a U.K

Our Speedster is also hooked up on a dedicated 240vac circuit wired to the load centre by a licensed electrician. +1 Davi-L & JohnB. For a 240vac GFCI breaker. Your electrician can also put a plug on the machine's line cord if you like. No electrical problems at all

Weber Moonraker?

My ring does not slip. I am able to grasp my portafilter handle with 4 fingers and thumb and turn the black section of the Moonraker without the chrome ring slipping.

Also consider a 240 volt GFI. Not cheap but safety is worth it. Dave

Lagom P64 Flat (Option-O)

This is fixed because the current declumper is now back to the kidney bean design. However, the declumper has a tendency to break from the housing and replacing it on the current P64 model is a PITA. You almost have to do a full teardown just to get to it. I'm not sure if Option O has redesigned the replacement
