Working at one of the studios for the next couple of days, stuck on a mixing stage listening for things that I can’t hear with a bunch of audio nerds.
During the break, we start talking hobbies. One of the guys has one hobby–espresso.
He is buying one of these:
Apparently, it is Awesomeness personified. It also costs $10K. As someone who would easily drop $10K on a custom bike or guitar if I had the scratch, I cannot argue. And this thing is gorgeous.
But does it make the best espresso?
Looks beautiful. And scary.
That is retro-industrial porn. Stunning design. I am the last one to argue with hobbies.
And Dutch, it should be noted.
Holy crap that’s gorgeous!
Yeah, almost as good as Danish. ![[cheers.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/0/0ff9bfcdb0964982cd3240b6159868fbdf215b1a.gif "cheers"){kind=small}
Wait—what? Sorry, mate. Had you pegged as Orange. I know that this is not a trifling matter, so I apologize.
Sweet machine indeed, but if given the choice, I’d prefer a single group Slayer.
Schwiiiing!
That thing looks like something out of a Dr. Seuss book.
That’s his number 2 choice…
Tough life! A simple consideration, but I find levers rather than knobs much easier to use for steam wands and hot water taps.
Sorry boys this one does it for me.
And I can even afford it.
Just can t justify two machines, but one day maybe 
Beautiful machine!
Almost enough to get me to take up espresso drinking.
We’ll get you there, there really is nothing like a well-made espresso.
I’ve had espresso from it many times (I know the owner / producer) and in my mind this is hands down the best espresso machine ever. And, indeed, it also looks really cool.
I like this automatic machine…
In the future, everything will be controlled by your phone…
