Restored Conti Empress Espresso Machine Finished Project

[Clean767]

Holy sh*t! what a gorgeous machine! I noticed the front "Conti" plate looks like it may have accidentally lost its bottom half, but maybe this is normal. Do you know?

I ask b/c I just inherited a Conti Prestina brass machine, and it has the same Conti name plate in the front, and I wasnt sure what it was supposed to look like.

Also, I'm unsure of the production year of my Prestina, if I sent you pictures, could you help me identify it?

thanks! AND I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS!

Doug... do you sell your OE espresso cups on your site? They're cute!

[orphanespresso]

Actually, soon...ish! The cups are ordered, along with a full line of cups from Inker in 5 colors, and 4, or 5, or 6 different styles from a big Latte, down to a radical little 2.2 oz ristretto, and to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the OE our 1st Collection set! Thank you for asking!

Right on! You should let everyone else know on Coffeegeek and Home Barista (I'm doubleosoul on those sites). YOu'll have plenty of orders as you have a big fan base:) Cheers.
