dfk41 MacPhisto I have been looking at a thread this morning on HB. Could you confirm the email you are using. I wrote to him on ineedespresso@sbcglobal.net but I am not sure if that is correct!
DavecUK dfk41 Why don’t you just send him a message via Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100004060864908
MacPhisto dfk41 That’s the correct email. Funny, I was waiting in my machine to get the measurements to give him on the handles and knobs. Pretty sure everything is standard M10 on the portafilter and lever but wanted to verify.
dfk41 Can those brighter members, confirm the size to order, as in the porta filter handle I think is an M10 thread. But what about the steam/water toggles? Presumably the lever is same size as the pf? This is on an Evo Leva
dfk41 MacPhisto Well, if we work in tandem matey, might be able to save on postage to the UK. Have you decided on a wood? If you want to email me, it is lochaber_shelbyville@aleeas.com
MacPhisto I’m in the states, so not much help on shipping! Right now, I’m deciding between olive and ironwood. Leaning towards the latter as it’s less common. What about you?
dfk41 MacPhisto Ironwood or Cocobolo for me. I love the deep red colours! I will wait and see if Dave responds!
BillyG I recently purchased some custom espresso related wood items from Dave, and he blew away my expectations. I can highly recommend working with him! And yes, ineedespresso@sbcglobal.net is his email address.
LMSC I checked with Maria. @DavecUK would know. Size knobs and taps M8 Size portafilters M10 Size lever handle M12 I assume these are for both iterations of the Evo. Edit: The sizes are the same for both versions of the Evo.
Elcarajillo dfk41 Dave if you are having something made with the wood , don’t try to dry it too quickly. If you do you will cause stresses and probably shakes / splits which may not show up until after working / machining.
dfk41 Elcarajillo I am in the process of ordering through Dave Stevens over on HB. The hardest part is choosing the actual wood!
