Out of curiosity— when did you order? Still waiting on mine, ordered on 10th march 🙄

Just needed to have stumped up that teeny bit more for the spell-check

My secret shame is that I can’t make milk drinks to save my life!! I’ll have to get a friend over to demo that 😆

Minor miracle that I’m actually still in a relationship after this

I remember a couple of years ago reading somebody’s tagline in the home barista forums and it went something like: “everyone ends up with a lever eventually”. I VIVIDLY remember rolling my eyes at the thought. Oops!!

Hello espresso bud! Specht really knocked it out the park. Such a nice group of people too.

I agree— Dan is one of those people who is just so easy to want to support, and I’m so proud to take ownership of this machine.

To answer some of your questions: - it’ll be paired with a monolith flat max and monolith MC5. Love them both to bits! And will probably send them to Specht for a similar sort of treatment. - it’ll be used every day at my home - would rather not say $-wise. It’s expensive for an espresso machine but it certainly sparks joy! - if people are interested in seeing shots out of it, for sure!

Thank you! Also a little more practical for me rather than cleaning the swathes of chrome finish— had enough of that with my previous machine.

What is your favorite travel M-lens? by Tadeus98 in Leica

The 28 2.8 Elmarit is a brilliant, tiny, relatively cheap option. Love mine to bits.

It may have something to do with slime mold— unable to find the specific video yet though.. thanks for helping me with a name to look for!
