Larry,
I too have a beloved La Pavoni Europiccola, but i'm afraid that our espresso 
machines are not up to the standards of snob-dom. I thought it was the 
ultimate, but it seems the vanguards of coffeedom are all playing with high 
zoot pump machines. We've got Moto-Guzzis in a field of Ducatis.
I'm not a snob, but I like good coffee. I gotta say that the list is so much 
fun lately, in the past few weeks it has been sort of ponderous, but lately 
WOO-HOO- someone opened the windows and it's warm and sunny!
And all you guys with 10 grinders- HA! HA! HA! I did my homework and bought 
the right one first time! A Zassenhaus grain mill! It isn't cool, but it 
does the job darn-it!  No, really, I like it.

P.S. Larry, even if you don't think it's hot yet, don't try to top off the 
boiler unless you KNOW there's no pressure in the tank. Don't ask how I 
know.
