Richard,
After our first year open we still are only floating our business boat here. So I don't have any $ to invest in a lever machine at this time. I will always keep you in mind for where to find one though. My dream of owning one someday will only end when I finally do.
Big thanks for the lead for Pavoni parts. When time allows I would love to bring this pretty thing back to life.
Best Regards for now Richard,
Joseph
Richard, yes I figured you would know Les and his Thor tampers. I was just wondering if you knew him. The Speciality Coffee World is a small one but the custom tamper world is way smaller one. I saw some of your work, very beautiful.
Your espresso machine work is to die for. My coffee dream is to get a hold of an old or new lever machine. If I get enough shops open like i would like I would just buy a new one. On the other hand the older ones are probably just as stable. My neighbor / grocer where I sell my roasts gave me a La Pavoni Pub V, needs to be gone through but I don't know where to get parts.
Richard would you know or have any idea where I could locate parts for this older model?

Yes, Richard, I do remember you from another web exchange. great to see you again. I would love to have you make some special wood Portifilter handles for me someday when the $ is ready and there. I have a new two gp Nuova Simonelli Aurelia with the stock black rubber/plastic handles. There is a craftsman in Oregon you may know, he sometimes gets coffee wood for work like this. His first name is Les, I met him on Sweet Maria's list and in person at a homeroasters gathering one summer.
Love your site and work and look forward to meeting you one day,
Warm Regards Richard,
Joseph

I found Intelligentsia it looks amazing and there is one near me. I'll go apply this week. Have you made custom tampers for them? How did you find out about them?
Wow what a collection – Were did you get most of your collection living in Wisconsin? – My wife is from Wisconsin and it was hard at that time to find a place to get good coffee. It was some time ago. - Steve, Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada
Hi Richard,
I would like to know how does your lever spring machine work. Since, I never use that kind of machine, so I would like to know whether it make one shot by one pull, or several pulls. Does the pressure can be even through the whole pulling procedure, and the shot can be properly made or not.
Thank you if you can spend some time to let me know.
I love 1,000 Faces, my dear friend Erin is working for them, that's how I got the connection to serve their coffee up here in NY, I am so impressed with everything they send me, what a great roaster!!!
Thinking that way we have a reliably wonderful (and user friendly) house roast in Madcap. A lot of coffee consumers like their "familiar" cup of java and aren't looking for a "challenge" with their caffeine hit. For all of us who are coffee geeks th…
I love it that customers really trust me to choose the coffee for them now, they learn a little about the coffee while I'm preparing it, and they see my excitement when new coffees come in, so that helps them try the new.

Richard,
Thanxs for the nice comments.
WOW - you make some stunning pieces yourself.
Very nice work!
As do I. Must be a sign of age, but there is nothing like a lever.

I may ask you more questions about your lever machines when necessary. Thanks for your detailed description.
