Wall mounted espresso machine that is merely a spring-loaded lever group? Hilarious!!!!!

What is it called?

[orphanespresso]

@arabiccola It's called a Faema Velox Espresso Machine, fully plumbed in, fully functional espresso machine, often used on trains in Europe. A bit more to it than just a spring group....makes darned good espresso too! Today's tasty cup was Ecco Coffee, Brazil.

Hi, I'm after a good hand grinder but I need it to grind quite a few other things as well, such as spices, some herbs etc.

Would you recommend this machine for that purpose as well?

What's with the rotating motion while tampering?

The Kyocera is a nice hand grinder, but seriously if you drink more than a cup a sitting or have to prep for more than 1 person regularly (family, guests etc) you'd have to be a masochist to hand grind. The closed design like the kyocera makes it a little easier but it's still a pain. If they made a hand grinder with a much larger diameter burr and geared it might be tolerable but I don't see a well made product like that around.

Great video, :)

I use a cordless screw driver no problem

[303Miles]

Do you think that you could use a cordless power drill with it since it has a hex key drive?

is it only for grinding coffee beans.. can we grind other spices using this.

great demo - always loved the simplicity of the hand grinder. I have an old zassenhaus I am quite fond of..part of a nice ritual when time permits..
