Hi Gregor!

I bought it from www.coffeemania.se. Originally ordered a La Scala Butterfly, but some problem with the manufacturer in Italy resulted in delays and I got the good offer from coffemania to get the Unico at the same price.

Yes tuesday will come. Beans are roasted, new tamper is purchased. It will be a coffeeparty and I will probably not be able to sleep due to a caffein over dose :-)

Yes, you´re right. It was kind of expensive. But I took a decision that I rather spend my money, on something I really want to have, than let it be stuck at the bank. Sort of a pathetic kind of thinking to justify the purchase :-)

Ooooh, a European gal.  She is even lovelier than my Livia!  My wife is amused (slightly) at my adoration for Livia.  She is not jealous over Livia, but I am not sure if Livia would be jealous over my drooling over your gal  :-)

She sure looks good, but I think I would trade her with your Livia anytime though!  But of course I only dare to say so now, before she has arrived :-)

Just so that y'all know, this machine is made by the same company that makes the La Valentina.  No way that I'd trade this for a Livia!

Cheers,

Luca
