Show Off your Espresso Machine

[ScareYourPassenger]

Well, I finally finished my backsplash in the kitchen and feel that I can post pictures without shame:)

I had to do without espresso for a month while I worked on the kitchen in my spare time. I am working and going back to school so my time was limited.

Nice setup SYP.

Good job on the tiles.

Very nice espresso setup and back splash!

SYP, is that the plumbed version? 

I really like that machine, and it is towards the top of my list on upgrades when the time comes.

It is the mini (pourover), I needed some flexibility because it was questionable if I was even allowed to have it on the counter.

I love the looks and the temp stability. It has the pre-infusion chamber installed and I picked up the timer used but it may not have been necessary.

Very nice setup! It may cause a lot of folks to envy you, but that's a good thing.

Have you been to S1cafe.com yet?

[ScareYourPassenger]

Yup, been there and it has been a good resource.

The grinder pictured has been sold and I will be trying out a Pharos next!

That machine is fairly expensive ... is it not?

I just looked it up ... $1700.00 at First Line.

Looks like something Huggy Bear would drive.

I got it for $1,200 when 1st Line bought out the importer, it is the older model with old style steam wands..
There is a good write up at HB

Any Folks with a E-61 Group Head ?

I made a few adapters to get the temp of the water just before it leaves the group head..
You just remove the screw in front and screw this in..It uses a Taylor Meat Temp. cut and the extra wire is fished into the head..

If I get a more than three folks that want the brass and plastic I run a batch off..
I'd be asking $10 +S&H

Very clever - much tidier than the compression fittings I've seen used with other thermometers. Much cheaper too!

I have more time than money these days and this can only leak from being loose
