Santa just dropped off my unexpectedly early christmas present - a beautiful old Caravel lever machine in near perfect condition.
He has travelled from his previous home near lake Como to my place in sydney and is just about to get a clean and rebuild once the new seals turn up from Orphan espresso in the states. I pulled two shots straight out of the box, still need to tweak the grind but still got great crema and a really nice classic lever espresso.
I will post some beauty shots tomorrow when i am not so worn out from dancing around the machine grinning like an idiot.
