That I think is the only machine of his that I have thought is pretty, too bad I don't have 3600 to plop down. His goal target seems a little excessive, most of these do well when the final product costs no more than a few hundred. Good luck to him, but I don't think he makes it.

Interesting that he is using a CMA/Astoria group..... so all he is really building is a boiler and a case for all of it.

Just go buy a Astoria 1 group lever.

only $3k from amazon....

While I like the concept of custom built US made espresso machines, the priced especially compared to the competition seems quite high. Isn't this close to a Bosco?
