Nice to see you're back in your lever groove. And thank you for taking over the spot of newest LMWDP member! More later...

It has the feel of a quaint old Italian mini bar. The plastic trash threw me off though.

Dreamy, to die for set up! I adore it.

I had a lever machine about 15 years ago. An Elektra MCaL. Decided to go for convenience and sold it. Regretted it. Nothing ever came close to the quality of the shots I got out of the MCaL. Moving soon and I can't take my current plumbed in machine with me. Time to place an order for a new lever! Which one? MCaL, La Pavoni? Cremina? or ...

Cremina SL!

They are hard to find but I wouldn't trade my pavoni Eurobar for any other non commercial lever. Just my 2 cents

Leozava is that a Hedone Honne grinder in your picture? If it is what do you think of it matched with your levers?

Thought I was done with LPE but then I came across this minty birth year Europiccola with the aluminum square grill holes. Keeping this one original. Added custom boiler gauge cap which is a non-intrusive swap.

La Pavoni Europiccola 1968.

Wow! It's in amazing shape for how old it is... Yep, that was intentional

You're never quite done with these mythical machines. There's no patch, treatment or support group that can solve this addiction...

Cheers Rob!
