Perhaps it could be renamed ---> ''Moon's coffee - using his Ponte Vecchio Lusso Coffee machine?'' Seems a bit long - so here's an idea .. let's cut it back to --> ''Ponte Vecchio Lusso?'' Glad you mention it though .. I have previously encouraged other members who have one of these PV Lussos to come forward and share their experiences. So far .. it appears that I am the only lucky one around here.. and the thread ends up like a personal blog .. with the occasional visitor.

Thanks for hanging in there .. this is your first contribution in this thread .. nice .. It can get lonely in here. 😉 Fact: In the 24 hours up until 1.00am this morning - this thread attracted 640 views. This is up from - 420 Thur, 300 Fri, 250 Sat, 370 Sun. Views appear to be going up .. so there must be some sort of 'appeal' going on here?

The "Ponte Vecchio Lusso - advice please?" title has wandered a little off track IMO. :stir
Again .. thanks for adding comment. This is always welcome. In fact .. I've bean hoping for more.. I'm not seeing where the thread has gone 'off-track' The Ponte Vechio Lusso, and of course the grinder - have bean an integral part of the coffee journey, since acquiring them If you have bean following recent posts .. you would have noticed that I mentioned that the reason why the particular bean blend did not rate well .. was that the rating was more about my preparation (include use of PV Lusso & grinder here) than the beans themselves. Even the latest addition of Brett's ratings .. has been informative for viewers of the thread .. by not only comparing our personal taste in coffee .. but how another persons preparation and execution of the extraction can alter the result significantly. Brett has a different machine .. which, as you would know .. is not a lever machine like mine. The benefit to viewers .. is to see the results in the cup can vary according to the method and equipment you use.. as well as the differences in personal taste. Brett's perspective allows a comparison .. to the PV Lusso .. which means his results are still relevant imho.. well, ok .. it's a stretch .. but I've gotta maintain the interest in the thread so that viewers don't start doing :coffee: <-- to me. lol Oh .. and then there's adding a little 'fun factor' into the equation.. which is always a good thing. :rofl: I mean .. who wouldn't want to know what rating the beans would score on another coffee machine? Most people would not have a lever machine, and wondering whether to go for one, or get a standard pump machine. By seeing how Brett's Diadema e62 group PID machine (probably worth around $3,000??) produces an outcome .. results can be compared to a budget lever like my $1,400 Lusso. Viewers get to see some of the important variables between 2 different users of different coffee machines .. even though they are using the same beans. I am sending Brett some fresh Major Tom beans shortly .. so that we can both review and rate them at the same time. I'm taking a stab .. and guessing that viewers may be interested in the results .. and that may even include you? 😛 Come again :thumb:
