{In Michael Corleone Godfather Part III voice}
"Just when I thought I was out......They pull me back in."

To those who do not get reference (e.g. my Boss and my daugther):
* "out" is desire to try something new for your (here espresso) hobby when you were in a content place equipment-wise and just exploring all the different source material (here coffee bean varietals and roasts).
* "They" are the ingenious craftsmans like Gabor who entice consumers with too good to resist consumer items for said hobby. Or Denis whose Monolith big flat (Max) is calling my name

I'm still confused.

Got the email as well...

Coming soon: a radically new add-on for our piston pressure kits!

With a link to the video...

redbone, sorry for the confusing movie reference. As stated by wachucko, Gabor (naked-portafilter) sent email out to me (and presumably other pressure piston rod customers) that was cut and pasted by wachucko. In reviewing the Vimeo video, it appears the top bolt has changed. How the heck it allows declining pressure profile who knows...well actually I can guess. Why the heck did I not think of doing this myself? It is because I would cut off my fingers if I got near tool machinery

Side note, Gabor's Vimeo videos production values are 100% professional; Roger Deakins and Walter Murch would be proud:) For another example (among many) here is a great one for "Cremina-heads."

Comments say it's still showing the old model but next trailer will show more. I wonder if it's some addon for tracking profiling?

That is what I thought as well when I saw the video...

Does the time on the graph start when the lever is initially raised or with the downstroke?

RockyIII, I cannot tell.

It looks like we all will have to wait until the Amsterdam World of Coffee expo on June 21, 2018 for the reveal.

W.R.T. my 2nd post comment re: I see a change in screw shape, please DISREGARD that. This is why I should stick to my day job.

Another well produced (no sarcasm) teaser video from Gabor. After the 12 second to 14 second mark of the video (showing lines of code), I was next expecting Morpheus' voice to kick in with narration

This teaser video #2 is teasing phone app.

Can't wait to see what Gabor has done now!
