I'm not a lever machine owner but I do appreciate their beauty. This Xmas I went back east to Vermont to spend Xmas with my wife's family. On one of our outings we went to a nearby town in New Hampshire called Walpole to dine at a marvelous French style cafe called Burdick's. Apparently they are well known for their N.Y. chocolate store. What do I know? I'm just a So. Calif. boy with Diabetes so I'm not up on East Coast chocolatiers.
Nevertheless the food was to die for! I had a Rabbit and Cherry sausage with fresh Watercress and cabbage. Their pastries looked heavenly and from the looks of the customers, were.
Unfortunately, the coffee wasn't as good. However, I found it entertaining to watch the little old ladies pulling shots on this dented Rancilio 2 group lever.
Happy New Year!

Finally had some warm weather so I could get outside and work on the new Conti. Many (including myself) wondered if the finish would come back or if it would need replating. Turns out the bodywork and group are all brass. I stripped the lacquer and applied a little brass polish and she gleams like the Empress she is.
This is how it looked when I got her home.

Great job and well worth the Hunter S Thompson drive from Utah- Bay Area -Portland -Utah- I know you were legal in all forms of the word- but that was an almost epic drive for a lever- Well done Sir!

A very sweet looking machine.....just love the looks of itPaul wrote:I'll play. Here are some pics of my early 60's gaggia montecarlo. I am told that this was produced solely for the USA/AUST market. Mechanicals are same as for gaggia americano. Body is fibreglass and the customer side is backlit.
I have some other old faema and gaggia machines but this is probably my favourite at the moment.
