1959 Faema Urania Three Group Hydraulic with Hotel Group
The remaining parts are the selector pin and release lever (Figure 3 in the patent above and Figure 2).

1959 Faema Urania Three Group Hydraulic with Hotel Group

Moving from Mignon Specialita to Ceado e37s or Atom 75
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Ceado doesn't get enough love. I run an e37s and I love it. It is a big beefy grinder that is whisper quiet and lightning fast. The worm gear is a joy to use and cleaning is super easy. This grinder will outlive me by many years. It has near

Canadian Roaster Recommendations
One of Tony's recommendations to me would also fit the bill quite well. No Robusta but a very nice traditional flavour profile. The house blend from Manic Coffee. They don't do free shipping but the coffee is so cheap for that size bag that it works out to about the same as other roasters. Well worth it for anyone who
