New Espresso Machine!

[azkid]

We almost didn't make it.

Shut in by coronavirus, isolated from civilization, every little set back seems like a huger deal to me. Spilled milk? Broken toilet? Internet router dies?



Days without my morning iced latte seem all wrong. Two Mondays ago, our old Gaggia Espresso Deluxe gave up the ghost for the third time since we bought it in 2004.



We decided an upgraded espresso machine was finally justified. Much research ensued and a machine stood out from the crowd. I placed an order, and impatiently waited for it's arrival.

At long last after 11 grueling days of hell, the big brown truck arrived and we were rescued!

Introducing our Lelit Elizabeth, a dual boiler espresso machine, made in Italy, with PID temperature control, fast warm up, programmable pre-infusion time, computerized control, programmable shot timer and more.



It only took five tries to dial things in enough to outdo our prior machine with store bought beans. Once I really get it locked in and use freshly home roasted beans this thing will probably blow our minds.
