New (old) toy arrived yesterday.

[mp]

I never give inanimate objects names. All I care about is the coffee it produces. If it's good, it stays.

Of course ... what was I thinking ... that would be too frou-frou.

As I was putting this thing together, so I could test it before I tear it down for rebuilding, I couldn't help but notice how bleepin' HUGE it is. I've got it on one of my rolling work tables in the garage and it dwarfs the Bunn ES-1A. It looks like a brass-plated beer barrel.

Mrs T is looking around and wondering where it's going to end up. Needless to say, she's getting a few early warning shots in - "It's too big to be on the kitchen counter.", "Maybe you should call in some favors and have the plumber & electrician come over and locate it in the alcove by the dining room?", basically establishing herself as a player in the decision making about MY espresso machines.

This is going to be a massive project.

I've never heard of a massive project that you could not take on.

I didn't say I couldn't do it; just that I'll have to fit it in around my current projects: refurbing the Suez Canal and building the bridge to the ISS. But I should be done with those by Xmas, so maybe I'll have this one done by Easter.

Don't forget about the Gulf clean up!

Done! Drove down to Galveston just after the explosion and whizzed into the Gulf. That's what broke up the oil and dispersed it.

Partially reassembled. I don't know about Larry's Belle, but I just can't see this fitting in my house?

edited: And it's not because my house is small - this thing is just HUGE!

I agree with you completely.

That is why I'll suggest sending it to my house.
