Small update

So. I started with a breville barista pro.. great machine but wanted something with dual boilers so bought a new lelit elizabeth, and a eureka specialita.. then bought a mazzer philos last blackfriday.. and now “saved” a bezzera crema from the landfill. Got it broken, steampipe was leaking, heating element was fried.. and scale everywhere this thing has never been de-scaled.. so emtied the boiler cleaned and de-scaled it with a mild citric acid and distilled water combo, as these brass boilers are very thin and fragile especially near the o ring seals.. just now got it together, new heater and boiler seals, full rebuild on them push to steam valve. Thing is been awesome really, Just need the grouphead seal replaced to make it neat, and will then also change the 2 to 4 hole steamtip on the lelit.

I still have a eureka specialita in the cabinet, But will probably end up getting a mahlkonig 65gbw as my 2nd on demand grinder
