That would certainly make a nice addition to your collection Robert.

See, that is what confuses me.... how is it that I don't know whoever that is?

Another way... how is it that somebody has that machine and doesn't home roast?

Assuming again that if you home roast you would necessarily be a member here, but it's just not a humongous demographic of people that would even have that machine and the way the circles go round and round.....it just seems like I'd know that person.

But anyway that machine is not in my price range.  :(

There have been several of these on CG within the last year or so go for around $5k.

One with a Mazzer grinder if I recall.

His current asking price is $7000.00 but I think it will eventually go for less than half of that.

Word on the street is that the guy bought a Bunn ES-1A for $500 and it makes better espresso, so he's recouping his money on the other one.  Right Robert?

You know, John

You could always buy a PID'd Gaggia from Tex and give it to the guy for his apartment  and then just stay you'll keep the machine at your house and he can visit it once in a while.....

a win - win - win

Better yet; charge him a nominal fee for storage until he gets another house!

I must say Robert I am really surprised you are not lusting after this machine.

Nah, any well-tuned machine can make fine espresso. It's the deal that whets my interest (Guess that's the Texan in me?).  :)

This one would be the one I'd lust after if it goes for less that $750: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250449940450#top
