um, bosco only use a single spring in the group 🙂 not only will it tip if we run it with twin springs, most of you are going to complain that you can't pull the lever down why? because most people's kitchen benches are lower than the 1000-1100mm bench that a lever machine should sit on in a cafe and second, the group sits closer to the bench than it does on a commercial lever machine because the height from the grill in the drip tray to the bench is less than on a commercial lever machine so if you had a commercial lever machine sitting on a bench top 1100 off the floor, the height to the handle on the lever is going to be higher than it is if you had LONDINIUM I sitting on the same bench A bit of a scrambled explanation i know, but hopefully it makes some sense don't worry, its running at max - any more and people are going to grizzle if you want to make it a lot easier, place it on a higher bench - ideally a commercial group with serious grunt like these should be placed high enough that the dead weight of your arm pulls the lever down - i.e. you shouldn't have to pull much the reality is a lot of people are going to place these machines on a standard 900mm high bench, which means you have to use your lats more to pull the lever down than you would if the lever was higher off the floor, especially if you are tall
