Now that my first project machine works again I can post about it here! It was a 10 month process but the behemoth works again. I am on the hunt for a new table/cabinent as the current one is a little sketchy for holding so much weight. What started out as a €175 purchase grew into a little...

Micro Casa Leva S1C is an espresso machine with lever offered by Elektra for several decades. I am selling my trusted Elektra after owning it for about two years. This beautiful lever machine produces amazing layered espressos and the steam wand is second to none. It has been just serviced...

Due to file size restrictions this will be done over multiple posts so bear with me! After 13 months of waiting after placing my initial order, my Bosco Sorrento finally arrived. As I partially type this out it is currently warming up for the first time without issue besides a slight leak from...

Hey folks, Am thinking between getting a Gaggia Classic and install PID on it, or getting a La Pavoni and just work with what a beauty it already is. Anybody here with experience with both? I have heard that the La Pavoni compared to a Gaggia without PID would be better, but what about with...

Hello! I have a question. I have a Compak E8 grinder and a Fracino Cherub. The set up is great but I've had my Cherub for about 6 years now and want to try a lever machine. I'd love a londinium but my budget is about £1500 so it's unrealistic. I've heard of the new mini londinium but I need milk...

There seems to be a lot of love for the Londinium R on here! Nothing to do with Upgraditis or anything like that (!!!), but I'd be really interested to hear from a few of you LR owners how you like your machines. How does it compare with what you had before, in usability and more importantly...

I don't think this has been posted on the forum… appeared in Daily Coffee News. We have the Push, and now the Pull. Another lever machine to add to the stable. Not sure about the look but sure about the price...

*Now £650 including additional Barista kit mentioned below* Soll had the Strega from new purchased from Bella Barista on the 3rd of January 2014 it was first used at his home until my purchase mid this year and was producing 1/2 coffees per day with Soll. He used it with Ashbeck mineral water...

Hi folks, I'm new to the forum. My current setup is a gaggia classic with a eureka mignon grinder. My taste in coffee is gravitating more towards espresso than milk based drinks. I've been lusting after a Giotto rocket for a while and have been close to pushing the button. But reading a few...

Hello all. Just introducing myself, Ben, with an interest in coffee for my own consumption. Debating about going to a Lever machine for the sheer fascination of the actions required. Cheers.

I'm thinking about parting with my espresso machine-away from home since it doesn't get much use. Its a Gaggia Factory which is basically a rebadged La Pavoni Europiccola. I bought it from Lookseehear in September in excellent condition and since then it hasn't had much use but I've kept it...

Hi all, been a while since we posted some refurb work we've done, Recently got a 2 Group MyWay Lever Machine in for a Refurb and here is a link to the progress pics... https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.531049936913082.123340.144400048911408&type=1 The ammount of scale removed from...

Londinium have designed this new lever machine and are making it in the UK. Looks like a killer... http://londiniumespresso.com/blogs/londinium-espresso-blog

So I have managed to get to the stage of getting a decent shot out of my Gaggia Cubika. It is a little lacking when it comes to maintaining shot temp when brewing but this I could get over. The big thing for me is that I really like my latte/cappuchino and the steam wand takes an age to heat...

I've been without a decent coffee for too long and think I've found a source for double baskets for the Briel, Magimix seem to be using the same design or Briel are making them and they are then being re-labled.....but can't find proof before wasting money.....its the last resort before the new...

Hey all here's my set up: Astoria 3 Group lever machine Piaggio Ape van folding table menu board cool boxes Unfortunately there is no grinder on board at the mo which sucks as I soooooo want one. I need to put in a conversion kit for electric and maybe swap the 3 group for a 2 for more...

From recommendations on this site and Home Barista amongst others I got interested in Londinium Espresso for their beans and also because I found out that Reiss ("Mr Londinium") is a lever machine fan and - no less important - has now become the UK distributor for Olympia Cremina lever machines...
