Voodoo modded hand grinder and a Strega ??

Ol_Grumpy

I'm wondering if he didn't just get himself a Rossa Portespresso.... Maybe the TR Version, eh? Oh and maybe the big bad boy... HG1

good guesses, they all sound nice. funny both thinking pressure controlled machines and hand-grinders, you know me too well. not saying if they are right or wrong yet, need 3 remember.

Brett_H

But you can't see me wearing my Groucho Marx getup sitting here incognito... A Londierm Lever and a HG1

C-man

OOOOOhh that would be so nice

derrilex

A couple of new Paslodes ?

Lacehim

Spong and a french press, sell the S24 and stop worrying about pressure profiling? Am I right? Most likely is a HG1 or Pharos.... my vote goes with a Pharos after Ol Grumpy's visit. 😉

C-man

you guys are funny.

Brett_H

Nup, I reckon the S24 goes and there's a new machine coming.... Something that is variable temp and does preinfusion aand post shot pressure run-off to recreate the lever thing but without the fuss or restriction of a spring lever. It's a Diadema Junior Extra PID!!

Ol_Grumpy

Nah, I know he's been trying to get big G to part with his Pharos, with not much success.... Who can blame him, I won't sell mine...Eva... So... I reckon he's gone whole hog and hit up for a brand spanker.... Wait for it... This is Izzo envy right here.... The just landed in the country 'Izzo Alex Leva'....

you guys remember the "Slayer" that was going cheap a while back?

Oh the category killer, next big thing since the BDB?

Bull. I'll have your $100 machine then! 🙂

Brett_H

An Izzo Alex Leva... What have I missed and why?? The PID Pompeii was already uber-incredible for those that wanted to spend $5k o(not rrp)n a single group lever. Someone better start a thread... I've got a lot of questions. Is one of our sponsors importing these?? Come on... Cosmorex, Jet Black, fess up.... Pedro... Jeff??.... NEIL?? ? My opening line in he new thread may be, if I wanted a machine with multiple personality disorder I'd have crossed a Londium with a Thermomix... Pull the lever and out comes soup. Now that's a category killer and the next big thing since the Breville Jaffle-Maker. I need more info!!! Secretly I reckon it might be cool... A double boiler with a lever.... More... Off to visit Dr Google

the truck pulled up on Friday rang the doorbell that we did not hear because we were upstairs. at the same time a friend came by and yelled out, I went down to the front yard and as we were chatting I noticed the truck had turned around and came back and looked at me and just kept going. Then I found a delivery attempt on my front door, I never thought it could get here so quickly otherwise I would have stopped the truck. now I must wait until Monday as they have gone back to Brisbane with it.

The $1200 Boema single group lever on gum tree the other week! That is my dibs 😉

Arrrgh.... Noooooo!! 🙁

Saw the Alex Lever on Google. Cool!! I would love to see a shoot out between Alex, Strega, Londierm and Achilles. Now that would be a pretty even race but I personally would be drawn to the PID double boiler Alex I reckon. I do love Galumay's machine best if I was to have a lever.... Come on C-man... What is it???
