    Bugger, third time I have seen a used la Pavoni for sale at a reasonable price only to have the owner overwhelmed with offers and withdraw the item.
    Can’t blame the sellers but have to wonder what sort of Dutch auction is going on in the background.
    To be clear, I am NOT fishing here for a machine, I am still dialling in my Bianca.
    I sort of want an old lever the same way us old blokes want an MG or a Mustang or a boat.
    I don’t need it, I know it will cost me $$ and it probably wont be as user friendly as what I’ve got.

    Forgot to mention.
    It was straight to Beanbay for some consolation Yemeni.

      I also have a hankering for a La Pavoni, not sure it was the same one one was on eBay for $650 today.

        Nah, nice little millenium with wood for under $500 on marketplace in vic.
        First one was a rough v1 or v2 for $300.
        It’s a fun hobby.

        Wow, solid deals, good luck grabbing one. I have fixed 2-3 up over the past few years but sold all, now really regret not keeping one. However with the Flair 58 coming out I am not sure I can justify (or afford) getting a Flair and a La Pavoni.

        Someone in Steak and Kidney got a sweet Gaggia Factory yesterday.
        It was advertised for $150.
        I missed it by minutes.

          Pardon my ignorance, but what is Steak and Kidney?
