It's a great machine! If it could steam it would ( in my eyes ) be the ultimate machine!

New Year - new user for the list?

I just want to say hello and show some of my machines...

It's a simple machine, but hé, it's a lever.
And I can pull at least 6 shots in a row without overheating the grouphead.

Delicious shots too!

Guido, did you get that heatsink on the Pavoni from [anonymized], or did you fab your own?

Jörg, which temperature strip are you using on the grouphead?

Make sure you get an LMWDP number, if you haven't already done so!

Welcome to Home-Barista!

Thanks. Looks like it comes from Omega (https://www.omega.com/pptst/RLC-50.html).

Greetings, Pullers:
Long time listener, first time register.

Call me nuts, but I just completed a build of a manual lever machine from scratch. I bought the remains from a Conti machine from an inmate here, and set out to make the frame and all of the necessary components. Long story and 6 months later, it works. Pictures to come.

My espresso story is driven by a lack of quality coffee in my area - Baltimore. I started with a silvia, moved on to an Azkoyen, which is a Spanish E61 rotary pump driven machine, then migrated through several grinders and then to a Ponte Vecchio Lusso, where the lever obsession took hold. When the Lusso cracked, I set out to put together the Conti. What a difference in every way- the Conti is a huge beast with so much power.

I firmly believe in the soft ramp up of lever pressure- it yields a terrific shot.

Hi John,

I fabricated it myself.
But with [anonymized] (in fact Tije is the inventor and supplier of [anonymized]) his heatsink as an example.
