Levers have an undeniable aesthetic/kinetic appeal, my biggest problem is being away two weeks at a time and home about 5-6 days in between. Which is why the Flair/Aergrind combo gets one helluva workout - about 900g of beans every two weeks, its given me many months of totally decent espresso. Poor little Mini is lovely but needs a new piston seal (which I have, but always stuff that has higher priority....domestic harmony and all that). I'd personally be after a mid-late 90's or a 70s LP, depending on cost/availability......I have a Feld2 in the wings seeking employment, lol!
