Proves beyond a doubt that a lever can do volume (although you will note that out of all the drinks served, not a single milk drink!) ah...Italy eh!?

Crickets, gecko etc. Clean air as well. Only an hour to the fringes of the big smoke. Not a bad position- we even have 3 movie theatres and a supermarket now. However - internet connection is diabolical. Around 8kps- which was about where Melbourne was in 1988!

At 4:24am on July 8, 2009, Alun Evans said…: Mate, whats your skype address? I am up in the hills and yahoo is not behaving. Skype works (using the text function) alun_evans_merdeka . No worries...whats a mm between friends?

At 3:32am on July 8, 2009, Alun Evans said…: Alright. Never let it be said a Kiwi is not inventive. I will give it ago. I think the 53mm are actually NICER baskets, deep for quality espresso shots. The new Astoria +4U's have 53 as standard... and all the machines they make for the Euro market also have 53's. I am envious as IMHO the shot is indeed MUCH better! Anyway, I digress. I will work on it and show u the result. No laughing though!

At 12:32am on July 8, 2009, Alun Evans said…: Good points. I have never used one but thinking...what the heck. Problem is all my portafilters are the shallow Astoria/San Marino Standard (58mm). To cut one down, with the handle position as such, looks like it will not work. May have to order one in I guess.

At 6:09am on July 7, 2009, Alun Evans said…: What are your thoughts or experiences on using a tripple basket blind portafilter on a lever machine. Thought I would ask before I got the hacksaw out. Been mulling itover for a while including watching a few choice Utube vids on pulling shots.

At 10:39pm on June 11, 2009, Alun Evans said…: aheem.... you still around or has a rogue lever machine clobbered you on the head?

At 8:19pm on January 11, 2009, Alun Evans said…: Chris, got the 3 group Rapallo in now...you are right, the shot quality is magic
