I have done it again, my trustworthy Rocket Giotto v3 will soon be replaced by this monster:
A Bezzera Strega, a used one, if and when i like it, the Rocket will go 'for sale', with some regrets, as it is a rock solid stable coffee machine. But I am working my way to a Profitec Pro 800 machine, and like to have some experience with a lever machine.
So now I am busy reading about possible mods that can improve this machine, maybe maybe, if and when, I need to find someone that wants to do some of those mods for me. And then: 2 years saving my money to get enough for the 800 ;-)
That is, if i do not cave before i have reached that point and buy a Lagom P64 first :-D

On a side - (Coffee) note, I was give a bag of 250gr Natural beans, and by the Gods, how much I dislike that funky smell and taste, I have discarded the lot, as even my wife hated the beans in the Siemens Super Automated machine, a contraption that mangles the beans so much there is hardly any taste difference te be had.. But these funky beans, phew, ok lots of fruity smells and flavors, but all drowned by a musty old well worn inside sneaker smell and taste, Ugh, so bad!!
