I moved into a new place and with no 220volt...my La Marzocco Linea 2EE had to be put away in the closet :-(
But I managed to get a gently used 2003 Brasilia Portofino America. Its got plenty of steam and a big enough boiler (2.5liters) and it works on a standard outlet with 15amps :-)
But first I plan to give her some TLC and do a full refurb and descale. The Wega has been "ON" for about 4 years and I want her to serve the next owner as well as she has served me. She'll be in the BST soon.

Jon, you are really rubbing it in, aren't you! I have been tempted, but would probably be smothered in my sleep if I bought a GS3.....which would be good for you guys, as it would show up on BST.

I guess the excitement over the new Paddle-y bit excuses the cross-posting... ; > I swear, when I get the two groupd Synesso Hydra (or the Slayer, or perhaps the new, yet to be unveiled LM) I'm posting it on this forum, HB, AZ Coffee, Stagecraft Digest, Speed, and some of my fencing sites as well. Try and stop me! ; >
