In researching levers, I ran across one of John F's threads over at HB.

I figured he would be interested in this one:

He better pull the trigger soon though as there are others sniffing around.

Good price for that one.

Here is another one for you ... Shaun would be proud of you if you were to get this:

You have an excuse for that one ... just tell her it is a journeyman ... and will be shipped off to another land far far away.

The Bezzera BZ07 has a strong Cost for features recommendation from someone who has tried a lot of machines. Apparently the grouphead has a heating element with a thermostat to control temperature. Which I think is adjustable.

I suppose it would be better with a PID?

Ain't that the truth!


edited: Working on a new product: armadillo luwak - feeding them nothing but robusta cherries & stink bugs ought to produce a complex flavor profile. Any cuppers?

Texas also has hotrod Armadillos.

Yeah, this is all you see of them.


Actually, I think that's Larry and two of the cabal streaking?

[staylor]

Done. If they ship fast I might have it for the weekend, if not it looks like levers ahoy on Mon. ;-)

I knew with 100% certainty you would have both machines on your counter before years end.

Now go shorten up my leaning curve Racer X.
