    No, not familiar with that. What does it protect against?

      It’s a black plastic grill that sits on top of the cup tray and stops the scuffing marks from the cups. I’ll take a photo of it when I get home from work.

              Did you get yours from Auckland mate, or did you find one locally?

                Have you noticed that some R91s have the gauge positions reversed?

                Mines like yours with brew pressure at the top, but there’s plenty of pics online of the steam gauge at the top.

                It seems pretty random.

                  That’s a serious looking machine, very nice!

                  Cheers

                      Yes I've noticed that as well, maybe the person on that machine that day just thought they would change it, or maybe it was a Friday afternoon.

                        Who would’ve thought someone would be selling such an amazing machine in little old Napier?!! Haha! Although I guess there’s a pretty solid coffee scene there, and even better now that Benny’s opened Third Eye.

                          Yeah they get them from Caffe L'affare in Wellington who I think is the rocket importer for nz. Funny you talk about Benny, he’s bought some coffee gear off me lately and has invited us to some cupping sessions at the new roastery which is looking pretty good.

                            Awesome! That’ll be cool. Third Eye is looking pretty sharp from the photos I’ve seen. I’ve never met Benny personally, but he’s a friend of a friend and seems like a good dude. It’s great for Napier to have someone so keen. (And yeah you’re right - Lafarre/Cerebos/Aitkens and their related companies like Atomic are the Rocket agents and distributors in NZ).

                              Yeah Benny’s a good guy, got the coffee passion.

                                What does the lever on the side do?
