fg1972 Here’s my lever, it’s only a baby compared to some of the works of art in this thread. It’s a 1976 model that I purchased in reasonable working condition. I fully restored it about 5 years ago including new seals, stripped paint back to bare metal including the badge. Now she sits alongside my daily driver Giotto Evo and gets the occasional chance to pull a shot as well. Hoping to find something bigger to restore at some point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Brett_H Lovely Pictures Aaron!!! Lovely little Pavoni also FG!!! I have a 1996 Pavoni Pro which provides excellent service when my Quickmill Lever needs servicing or when we're out and about!!

aaronmaestri My Mini Gaggia. Not the easiest machine to pull consistent shots from - its probably more about my sloppy technique than anything else - but I find its less forgiving than a smaller diameter PF.
Koffee_Kosmo Nice machines Aaron and Fg1972 :thumb: aaronmaestri wrote: Not sure what I need to do to post pictures into the post rather than thumbnails. Nice little Gaggia When one presses the thumbnail it will automatically expand to full size It’s how the site manages “uploaded images “ However when images are linked The full size is shown KK

I have a been collecting domestic lever machines since my first coffee machine purchase - a Bezzera Familia- which I deeply regret selling when I moved back to Sydney from the US. Since then I have been trying to fill the hole with other lever machines like this la Peppina by FE-AR. Mine has been my daily machine for around 10 years now.

I actually thought it may have been a Bezzera but it looks newer That’s why I thought it looks like an Astoria Gloria. It’s possible that the design was borrowed from Bezzera KK
