I’d wanted one of these for a while but usually machines like this get put in the cabinet and not used because they’re a PIA to clean. Not so with this little Phillips Viva! My mom got a fantastic deal on it ($100 off on Amazon) and I got a whole bunch of bronze dies from Pastidea. It’s taken me some time to get the right chew I like for my pasta but it’s so fun to make and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it! Yesterday was Tagliatelle, lemon, butter, olive oil, shallots, garlic, red pepper flakes and Parmesan. Best one yet I think! Tackling ravioli tomorrow!

  1. How’s the machine overall? Build quality? Did it come with plastic dies? Plastic or metal auger and chamber?

  2. Would you mind sharing the name of the FB group(if allowed)? I just got a Phillips pasta machine secondhand and while I’ve used it once, I’m not enjoying it as much as my atlas. Seems like I need to figure out the kinks!
