That is pretty funny! I have been called lots of things, but stereotypical sure is not one of them :laugh: I understand that people want cup warmer rails, and I am equally sure the manufacturer does understand that as well, he even has stated it in video and text. I too prefer other machines for their looks and a few aspects of how they are designed to work, but I am not designing the L-I, merely commenting on aspects of how it works. For instance, I would prefer a wee bit longer water wand. The cup rail issue is sort of a non starter for me because of the machines I have owned, and now own, I much prefer to use the water want to heat the cup. Since there is a recommendation to shut off the house water on the direct plumb unit I think there should be an easily accessible shutoff valve on the L-I so I don't have to go diving under my sink to shut off the water. Another thing I would like is to have a drip tray that pull out toward the user and not have to be lifted. But as I have said, I did not design the machine, I just ordered one because of the positive things I saw in the machine. Reiss may or may not put any of my suggestions into the next variant of his L-I, if there is another variant in the future. Time will tell and I wish Reiss and his Londimium series of machines well, as I do you in your quest for a better cup of espresso 🙂 Cheers! Stephen
