Good heavens… I wasn’t familiar with that Kees Van Der Westen Spiritello. That thing is stunning.
In one sense I’m certainly well-equipped with a Vesuvius at my primary residence, and a Minima at 2nd home. But I’m intrigued at the thought of some higher end options. I appreciate the machines that pay equal attention to the aesthetic as they do the engineering side of it, and could see myself going extremely analog (lever perhaps), or more on the technology driven side.
Some might choke at the prices, but considering what grinders can go for, that puts things back in perspective.
