Espresso Strietman, Lever-up

[BoldJava]

Sort of a Peppina, take 2.

Young Dutch gent who is developing a lever that bears resemblance to earlier Peppinas.  It is strictly in the development phase.  Thread over at HB that he has chimed in on.  Should be fun to watch and see if it ever makes it to market.  The unstated back-story shows how tough it is to enter the big leagues.

It very closely resembles an Arrarex Caravel. It is pretty slick looking. I especially like the portafilter. With the open boiler you could easily PID it too.

He is talking about putting a lid on it for safety reasons.  He also mentions that he is not getting good temps as the group head has insufficient contact with the "kettle."
