    Woowoowow tell me when you upload :D I'm so excited how you will review it 😅
    *Update: just finished watching, I totally forgot about the footage of us working together :D It was a great time having you in the shop. I'm completely amazed and relieved about the thick crema you pulled out of the machine.*

    I'd have a hard time using that machine for fear that I'd mess up the glorious perfection. A museum piece, masterpiece ❤

    Thank you for the shout out!!! So glad I was able to get a pump over to you guys - there isn't a more deserving machine than this beauty, and I don't think there is a better pump than the FG304 for a super high-end espresso machine.
    FANTASTIC work on the restoration @NTRprojects - this is a sight to behold! I love everything about this project and am honored to have gotten to play a very small part in it :)

    incredible! when I look at the initial phase of the restoration, the cleaning, the screws that had to be redrilled, and all the other "surprises", it became obvious that this is a labor of love for you both. Congrats on persevering and creating a beautiful restoration!

    A beautiful restoration. Look forward to seeing it in use pulling shots! As a newcomer here, I've been fascinated by that Faema Marti single-group, always sitting behind you, seemingly unused and neglected. Would love to see multiple shots being pulled on that beauty on some future episode. Regards.

    I originally watch the restoration video on Dr. Beer then I saw the logo he made for you. That took me back and I took a second look to confirm it was for you. I looking through your channel and I couldn't find the video but you finally released it :). I knew someone experienced in espresso was interested due to the IMS shower screen lol. I'm eagerly looking forward to your next video on it!.

    What a beautiful machine!
    A bit of criticism: at 10:20 I can see the bare contacts of the switch!
    If this switch switches mains voltage and can be accessed that easy, this should be better isolated!
    If it only switches 24V DC, it's all OK.

    Amazing video like always, can I suggest you make a video about motoring hand grinders? There are a few options out there but I consider them very pricey for what you're getting and if there's a economic version of them(a driller is out of the question because the rpm are so high it destroys your hand grinder in no time and it creates a lot of fines)
