    Let's keep the history lessons going, Lance. Your latest videos have been excellent and the tattoo reveal? Sick as hell. Can't wait in a few years time where we can track the history of your channel through your arm-sleeve.

    “…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!

  • @mikes2473
    @mikes2473 Год назад +5

    Great video, as a proud owner of a 1983 Olympia Cremina it’s nice to see someone of your caliber doing a video on Lever Machines.

  • @nachoote260
    @nachoote260 Год назад +3

    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.

  • @toulcaz31
    @toulcaz31 Год назад +7

    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.

    Keep the history coming! We dont ask enough "how?" and "why?" questions anymore! These history lessons give us a glimpse into that side of espresso/coffee machines. Also I just pulled a delightful ristretto on my Cafelot Robot this morning. YUM!

    @mikni4069 Год назад +1

    Yeah the home lever espresso machine history is fascinating. I actually owned the Faemina and Caravel once but sold them as I really didn’t fancy the shot these made. But it was interesting to play with them and hold something that old still able to brew espresso.

    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.

  • @Albert-bu1qv
    @Albert-bu1qv Год назад

    I was just thinking about this the other day if someone has done the history on espresso machines and their changes over time. I appreciate this type of archiving and making sure we honor the past and not just keep pushing for the future and innovation without giving credit to those who even got us here.
    Thanks for this!

    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 🤘

  • @ChrisStaley914
    @ChrisStaley914 Год назад

    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.

    @jockbradley670 Год назад

    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
    @brandonrohrer2245 Год назад +4

    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.

      @chumpboy Год назад

      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 probably not going to see this but in relation to your asking about video length I just noticed you frequently mention in your videos that you're getting long winded or coming up on time and that really takes me out of the viewing experience. I'd say try to outwardly comment on that less or not at all and the videos will just be what they are. Love this type of content, very truthful to you and your interests and it shows
