Yes it's all still here. Act now and I'll throw in a Reg Barber flat bottom tamper that's perfect for this. Shipping is about $50 to $70. I also might have a connection still at FedEx for cheaper.

Hi, extremely interested- sent you an email last night did you receive it? I'm in brea, ca so I'd need it shipped. also, what needs to be replaced on the machine? -I can't tell between the mods you did if It is fully functional. How is the microform on these machines, have you produced nice latte-art? Thanks, bijou

There is NOTHING wrong with this machine. It's 110% great. The plumbing was added so one doesn't have to refil the tank or dump the tray. There used to be a Forum for Expobar and a bunch of people did exactly what I did. The microfoam is as good as any other Expobar with a 2 hole steam tip a good jug and good technique. I use an Espo Toriod (not included in the sale) and make good foam. It took me 3 weeks to learn how to get the perfect foam from my S1. If the perfect micro foam is you deciding factor you might want to loo into a DB machine. I steamed and pulled at the same time always. I would pour hearts and what not for my wife with the occasional spleen thrown in for good measure. Shipping to CA so far has been insane, around $125 to $200 (I am trying to work with a friend at Fedex.
I'll be calling this morning. Ran late at work, had baby class till 10 last night (kids due in 2 weeks) so everything's been hectic. Your in CA not CN I was totally confused :) Need more sleep and coffee I do.
