The last I heard is that he never heard back from the guy selling the $100 Pavoni.

Last I heard he is waiting for Py to buy one, and then wait 3 months for Py to buy something else and then buy it from him.    ;D

Thank you for posting them all in one spot, instead of STARTING A BLEEPING NEW THREAD for each one.

Does that mean we are going to have an opt out of eBay & Craigslist finds?

Better yet, put them in the CL/EBay forum rather than clogging this thread with them.

Not yet....I've got a few things on my plate right now (besides snacks) that need to be taken care of before I can get it.

I've decided against getting a used machine unless I come across a deal totally impossible to pass up. The $100 Pav that was in excellent shape was such a deal. I tried to get it but never got a response.  :-\

I'm almost positive that I'm getting the same machine Staylor has but the only thing is I'm still not sure on the second group....I figure by the time I pull the trigger he will have some definitive findings on the usefulness of that second group for a single user. I'm not positive I'll ever need it and prefer the look of the single group. If I am 90% sure I'll never use it I might go with the single but there is also a case to be made for buying the exact machine so we can do some fun things with Team Sugar Land International branch...

But...life happens, I have some things I need to do first including another move in a few months and timing is not working in my favor right now. But It's a serious priority for me so it's gonna happen as soon as the window opens up for it.

What I'm seeing so far is a person could easily get by with a 1 group. Easily.

The main reason I would recommend the 2 group right now is redundancy. If a lever seal fails in one of the groupheads I just have to roll straight over to the other grouphead. I have a spare gasket and a spare lever seal kit (along with a tamper, a Kyocera CM-45, a couple of Bodum Pavina's and a couple of 2oz espresso cups) coming from Orphan Espresso so I'll be able to get the failed grouphead up to speed at my leisure, if a seal fails. By all accounts the lever seals are pretty reliable and long lasting... still... when I am in my morning espresso routine the knowledge of having redundancy is comforting.

But again, a person could easily get by with a 1 group.
