bombcup, what about this: http://twitgoo.com/1shxde :)
Rancilio S26 is doing well.. plumbed the fucker in on Xmas morning and it has been helping to heat my flat since..
S26 first coffee: http://twitgoo.com/1sfajk and http://twitgoo.com/1sfaiv
Its first espresso http://twitgoo.com/1shxdg
Thoughts:
It pours wonderfully. Even with old coffee, it looks like a Guinness being poured into espresso glasses.
Being plumbed in full-time is awesome. Definitely a fan of the setup although I'm not sure how much it costs to leave running 24hrs/day. Also I need to sort out either a drain-splitter (how do dish washer + washing machine combos work?) or just get a shorter drain hose and run into the sink. At the moment I have a long drain hose running into the sink which gets in the way.
The steam wand is a beast. 4-hole and only takes a few seconds to steam a 600ml jug of milk. I need much more practice using this. I would normally change it to a 1-hole but I like the faster steaming speed.
It's massive. It's red so it goes faster. It's awesome.
