Hi folks. I'm new to HB and this is my first post. Just got delivery on an Izzo Alex Leva. Machine is a work of art and I can't wait to use it. I've been reading the included manual, trying to prepare/educate myself on using the Leva while waiting for an electrician to help me...

First post here but have been reading the forums a lot.
I am prepared to step up from my lowly old Starbucks Barista to a new machine. The one I am most interested in is the Alex Leva, but other than some helpful discussions on the Australian coffeesnobs forum I don't see a lot...
I have been wanting to gather some objective data on my Leva group and its temperature profile for quite some time. I have been a bit mum on the rest of the project which you can now see. I haven't been able to use it while I was getting a lot of custom work done on it. There's...
I waited and saved up, now is the time for me to purchase a new Alex Tre!... :( But I am unable to find one for sale. Slightly disappointing, but there are many other silver boxes in the world.
