I found the original blueprints for your Cremina, just in case Warrior needs it.



Get your mind out of the sewer, Tex!  ::)

Warrior has done gorgeous work down in Chicago.  Thanks Mike!
All the bakelite parts will be replaced with cocobolo pieces.

Check the pstat settings.  I will probably find a hose that manages the heat and use this as is for "training wheels."  Once comfortable, want to have it set up as a push on/pull off on the steam value (Orphan Espresso has this design in stock).  I will visit our hardware store and try and get the right kind of tubing that can handle the heat.

What's that, 1.5 hours to drive? I forget how close everything is there, when the only thing close in Texas is the highway and it goes on forever!

Enjoy the ride. :)

2 hours w/ OK traffic.  But I'll wager that once The Great Goat has the Cremina in his possession, the drive home will take a half hour less, even though it will feel like two hours longer.

Be the frou.

My avatar is my level of Frou.  When I hit one out of the park, I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and ...  you get the idea.  But that's still as good as my Frou is.

Now, if I was foaming and pouring like staylor, my Frou would have me feeling more like this;

That was an awesome restore job Warrior!

B|Lever ... now you have yourself a kickass lever espresso machine.

Waiting for your first pulls and your impression of the lever shots vs Miss Sylvia.
