Re: 2009 to 2011 official WBC sponsor Machines

My only real experience with the machine is a friend of mines cafe where they ran with an aurelia for a couple of months before replacing it with an fb80.

Was that the red one in Glenelg?

Wonder if anyone will use the auto steam wand in competition? ;D

Yeah, that BIG ulgly thing.  If you havent already you should see the shiny bright gold new 80, swweeeet.

I doubt theyll have the auto steam arms on the comp machines but it actually could serve a positive purpose for the sig drink element when using ingredients that need to be heated to a certain specific temp, for example eggs or agar agar.

i cant believe they released it with such short notice. Blends will have to change. Such a difference between the two machines and now grinders. A lot of luck to the winner this year. I like the steaming of the nuovo, shots get some time to get use too. I know the nuovo guys played with the water levels of the boiler to gain awesome espresso a while back. The grinder.... Im not a fan of.

Just read that there were 3 machines that were passed to the WBC Tech standards committee. Them being the NS, LM, and Dalla Corte..... so I almost got it right :

toys, toys, toys ;D
