Thank you, Chris! I just learned that a magazine wants to do a cover so I'll hopefully know more later. Coffee has been good to me!

very cool video and even cooler collection!

Two questions:
Which do you enjoy using the most from a taste and usability perspective?
Which so you think is the most under rated machine?

Thank you! Yes, that's a Faema Velox.
In terms of taste perspective and user friendliness, I have to give it to the Cremina. It gives the most honest taste profile.

In terms of an underrated lever, I can't think of one. With vintage levers, each one has its own nuance which I like but then I'm a curveball kind of gal anyway.

Great segment, she liked the Jadite cups and recognized the levers we have in common, and of course loved the thrift store angle. Here's the link to the first segment. (the collection)

Thanks for posting the link, Chris. I had to mention the thrift store bit. It has been central to my collecting since I was a kid.

Thanks for posting the second link, Chris. I mentioned to the host off camera that once I secure a building to set up a real coffee museum, they need to come back. They've committed to returning!
