Mrs. Milo won't like how the house lights dim every time the steam boiler cycles.   :)

She's happy... one coffee toy gone.  The boiler on the Rancilio is smaller than the Brasilia.

I hooked up the Rancilio and everything works.  Looks like it only needs a steam wand and new group gaskets... descale too of course, but I don't think I need to dis-assemble this one.  Hoping to move this one out too in the next month or so.

Got my eye on one of these.  I figure a few more liquidation items and I'll have enough in the coffee toy fund.

Only 7 more drowned cell phones and you should be there.   ;D

Judging by the size of the Glass Cory Rod to the right of the machines, you also have the largest Vacpot on the planet!

Nice kit...way to make us jealous!

I guessed that!  My question is, where did you get that beautiful piece of glass?

I think my wife bought it at either TJMax or Marshals.

I just ordered this puppy from Home Depot. It has no top, so I'll put a flat marble or soapstone top on it, and this will be in my coffee nook. Look into their bathroom vanities if you need a free-standing counter.

edited: The big box just arrived. I think this is going to look good under my coffee gear! Now I need to hook the filtration system up to the FloJet and look for some water bottles
