Here is my Breville Barista Espresso finally arrived this time correctly  Happy2

Amazon send me Mini Oven by mistake first time and second till was sorted out finally but hey we are all human and mistakes happen, problems get resolved.

So far I had been enjoying it a lot I dial in grind setting 4 and grind amount dial at 5 o’clock so far excellent crema I get and taste is amazing  Happy2

Here also I managed to find Lavazza Cups by Richard Ginori vintage back 90’s I believe but I love these Esspresso Pear Shape Cups very nostalgic.

I’ll be trying more to dial in with my Espresso to get perfect extraction every-time at least I’ll try and keep practising.

My Regular Coffee beans I use of Course Lavazza, Crema Gusto, Lavazza Perfect Symphony, and Crema Aroma my top 3 Pick  Happy2

Take care

Lastly my Polished Portafilter did extra polish little adjustment to my sights for perfection.

Very nice they have ULKA 15 Bar Italian Pump but you can do upgrades and little tweaks.

Very happy with my Breville Barrista Espresso Happy2

Here is the next Mod Stainless Steel Steam Wand Lever instead of regular Bottom.

I think looks awesome as simple mod with this level makes it more kinda premium  Happy2

Wow, very fancy!  I bet you need training and a license or gov't certification to use that!! Big Grin

And, if I may tease, I bet we'd have to wear sunglasses in Alan's home as everything is SO SHINY!!  Tongue

Honestly, it looks great. Nothing beats a great cup of coffee, and as many have said, life's too short to drink bad coffee!

Alan, great score.  I have had this machine for at least 5 years and it is the best.  Amazing coffees and with regular cleaning, should last you many years.  Congrats!

Well Said  Happy2 nothing beats nice cup of espresso and a great shave in morning.

I haven’t polished the sides of my espresso yet which I’ll do this week give little xtra shine and protection.

Take care
