I'm borrowing a 1983 Elektra Microcasa from a coworker. He inherited it from his parents and said it hasn't been used in 20 years (it still has water in it which is also probably 20 years old.
Before I turn it on for the first time to test it out, is there anything I...
Hi,
I have recently taken ownership of an old, mostly complete, first version (no light or thermostat) Bruni Brunella Lever machine.
The main parts missing/damaged are a double basket (only has single), the Bakelite handle (damaged) and the seals (leaking).

Just purchased a Comocafe lever machine, unfortunately there was no basket but the original porta filter is present. Does anybody have a picture of the original basket as I am having difficulty fitting a basket.
Prior postings says that a Zacconi riviera 49 mm basket fits but I...
I recently transitioned to the Ponte Vecchio Export Lever Espresso Machine after parting with my Profitec Pro 500 due to relocation constraints. Researching on home-barista.com led me to this gem, and I'm thoroughly impressed.
