That Gaggia gilda tattoo is so cool

@mattmik Жыл бұрын

“…the only ever Gaggia Gilda tattoo.” This sounds like you’re challenging your viewers to get tattoos of classic espresso machines. 😉 Great video. Would love to see more history-focused content in the future!

Francesco Ceccarelli wrote an article on the Gaggia on The Lever Mag website people can read, in case you haven't seen it. IMHO, an important aspect of Home Espresso history is who managed to make it truly popular. In that regards, La Pavoni was a true commercial power house who spotted the small DP company espresso machine to make the Europiccola the success we know today.

@nachoote260 Жыл бұрын

As a proud owner of a '67 Europiccola, there's nothing quite like the hand-crafted process of using a lever. Yes, I have a modern machine as well, and I use it most of the time. But when I have the time, I just love using my lever machine.

Great video Lance. Recently have had a lever obsession started with Flair 58 and now rebuilding/modding a pre mil la pavoni professional. The experience with pulling a shot on a lever machine is the best don’t know that I’ll ever get a fully automatic machine.

Thank you for this - it is precisely why Gaggia will always have a foothold in my heart. I appreciate a dedicated coffee house with skilled baristas, but I love being able to make espresso in my own home. ...and in the wide espresso world, lever machines not only make fantastic espresso, they look cool doing it.

Cool video, man. Love the tattoo! I’ve been a La Pavoni user for a couple of years now. I have one of the newer machines (‘08, I think). I’ve modded it a bit, and upgraded the power cord and the internal wiring. I love how simple lever machines are, and how good the shots can get with care and practice 🤘

Thanks for not compressing the timeline of when you pulled the shots. Felt like I was right there with you. And seeing the tattoo reveal…now that was bad ass! Seeing the SworksDesign funnel on the portafilter was an interesting “moment” just kinda makes you realize how far we’ve come. Also made wonder, how did home brewers handle grinding coffee back then? @LanceHedrick do you have a vintage collection of grinders, too?

Lance, I always love your videos and on this one, you may have outdone yourself. Bravo and thank you for always informing us and educating us. I have a copy of Enrico Maltose's book Faema 1945 -2010 that showcases all the great Faeme's produced during that period. Back then, a lot of thought effort was placed on the aesthetics of the machines that very few current manufactures come close to.

@brandonrohrer2245 Жыл бұрын

It would be cool to see a side by side of the same lever profiles pulled on the original machine vs the Flair 58 vs a flow control pump machine! I would love to know I should invest in a spring machine, or if a flair can deliver the same texture and notes as the spring or other levers.

Well the beginning of this brought back memories - I got to hang with Andy Schecter at the 2004 SCAA convention. It was when the SCAA had a consumer membership category. Mark Prince, Andy, Greg Scace, Ken Fox, Barry Jarret, Fortune Elkins, myself, and probably several other people from alt.coffee I'm forgetting all hung out for the convention. I still have a V1 Silvia with a PID which was installed in 2001 - I've owned the machine since 2002.
