I have owned this rather special machine from new, having bought it in 2002 after seeing it demonstrated at a coffee fair. It is a robust single lever commercial grade machine which has been kept in excellent condition by Espresso Engineers and have just had it serviced for this sale. It has only ever had light use at home, usually one or two espresso daily. I have not plumbed it but always used filter water. It has been totally reliable and is in excellent condition. There are some coffee cup marks on the top and the paint backing of the rear glass panel has crazed with age.
I am puting it on this site in the hope that it will be of interest to a collector or someone with a special appreciation for these machines, not many of which were made.
I live in Auckland which would make viewing difficult for an Australian buyer. If it were not to expectation, I would accept it back and refund the money.
