Would look amazing with that view.

It certainly would. A 1 group Bosco Posillipo with the transparent panels and wood trim would look nice also.

A Manument espresso machine would also work esthetically with the EG-1.

Or possibly the Odyssey Argos, which is just getting shipped for many.



If money isn't much of a worry, there's the Modbar, which would have a very minimalist look.



There's also the Victoria Arduino Primo One.

I can only do a mock-up in the Slim Jim and not the Idrocompresso but I love the '50's - '60's look to this. I'm reminded of some of the guitars and amps that Gretsch was making back then. As an Idrocompresso - this would be my dream machine for my home just based on its form. I hear it can make a good cup of coffee too. :D

I have to agree with your ideas. The Manument and the EG-1 would have a great futuristic look together. I haven't found much about this besides on their website. Truly an innovative design.

Shots started at 96 and ended at 92.
That 96 is probably in the puck, not on the puck? Because the water leaves the group sputtering (100⁰C)

It is several thousand dollars and if I recall requires a 30amp 110v outlet as it is an ondemand commercial heater. Fascinating device.

I think I saw that is was around $8K which is a whole lot better that the KVDW at $25K+. Not sure where it could be serviced though...

Good point about servicing :)
