Hey Jim.
I read somewhere that you bought PVL. What exactly did you end up buying, and are you happy with it?
Thanks
Miroslav
Miroslav,
I did buy the Ponte Vecchio Lusso single head. I LOVE IT! I had several leads on various used lever machines but I decided that I wanted to buy new for many reasons to include shipping issues as just one. I like the PVL for several reasons. It came highly recommended, steams great, 3 liter boiler, spring lever, decent price point, and it pulls a great shot.
All levers have a large learning curve. It is my first lever and they are MUCH DIFFERENT than a pump. I'm a very happy owner!
