This, absolutely. The 'Rona shutdown inspired me to buy an old commercial espresso machine (1964 FAEMA E.61) and build out a little home coffee shop in the garage, where I learned to pull shots. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCgeL3dsTzW/?igshid=u06d4u494zyq
Did you set out to buy that particular machine or did you just happen across it? If you don’t mind my asking, how much did it cost? I have so many questions! Do you have a blog? I’d love to read how all of this came about. What an awesome project. It looks great!
I have loved the old FAEMAs for a while and found this one for sale in the Netherlands. It had been restored. Price was around $5500. It turned out to need a bit of work but I finally got it running well and use it every day now. I don't have a blog but I do post coffee pics on Instagram.
