Hi,

I am a total novice here. I just received my in-law's ca. 1980-85 La Pavoni professional. It's not working. Here is the story so far:

I got a Nuova Simonelli Oscar 1 in decent condition at a steal of a price. I plan on taking apart the machine as it has been sitting for a while and would like recommendations on any possible upgrades. If anyone knows where to acquire said upgrades please let me know.

I've searched and failed. Contemplating a DE1, but the WAF is ruined by the tablet sitting on top....amusingly, we currently have a Google Home in the kitchen. I asked if we got rid of that and mounted the DE1 tablet into the cabinet door in the kitchen above it if she would...

I've had a versalab on my counter for a few weeks now. In a lot of ways, I am extremely pleased. Coming from a large flat 98mm grinder, I am really appreciating how forgiving this grinder is with even the lightest of roasts. The espresso is excellent and it's very easy to work...

I've searched and I've searched, and I'm really struggling to find anywhere that tells me how many grams of milk there are in a cappuccino?
