Kelsey It's good to have her back on the bench, although it's almost like learning a whole new machine. Sorry I didn't catch up with anyone, yesterday was a nightmare of last-minute stuff and I didn't get out to Bezzera until 6pm.
Kelsey Wondered how long it'd be before someone noticed. Chris was rather awesome yesterday and good deals were done all around. Best bit is that it's got the same footprint so everything fits on my bench.
Kelsey No forcing of upgrades - I mentioned I would miss having an HX and Chris said he'd upgrade me if I wanted it. Couldn't resist the offer. But wait... burns?
beanflying 🙂 That will teach me to pass comment on chat before reading the forum. Nice work but there is still a Strega in your future :stir
Koffee_Kosmo Thats a PID BZ07 in the photo Easy to use as eating pie Same rules apply as to fresh beans, grind and tamp Now you can have a party and not worry about steam KK
Kelsey Tell me about it. The steam on this thing is incredible and the two-hole tip is much easier that the 99's four hole tip. Texturing has never been do easy.
Brett_H Very nice http://www.bezzera.it/en/prodotti/2012-02-24-16-30-55/bz07 Did you get the dual gauge? Adjusting the brew temp is great fun and can on rare occasion bring an average blend/roast to life. Mostly it's just good fun!!
Lacehim Nice machine mate. I'm surprised it wasn't a Strega, but your right, same size so win win. Did the Mrs even notice? ;D
Kelsey That option wasn't available - had the choice between the BZ10 and this because I wanted the same footprint. Anything else is too big for our current space. But I thought the PID was an easier route than mucking around with the internals to get the temp right. I'm assuming I'll need AM to check out the OPV status at some point, but that can wait.

I'm not hiding it from her or anything - just waiting until she notices. She even commented "it looks strange to have our coffee machine back on the bench". AND she's commented in the past that she didn't like the look of PIDs on machines. :coffee2: Strega will come, but this deal was way too good to pass up. We're hoping to move late this year, so perhaps the Strega will come to be then.

Muscles Congrats K! Have fun temp surfing with the PID and I agree with Brett, you will miss it when gone :coffee2:
Kelsey I'll be interested in comparing notes on PID use, particularly for certain beans/blends. Looking forward to it! Did I mention the steam on this thing is insane?
