DavecUK I think Mauro just wanted me to have one as a bit of a thank you for all the help.

Well… What can I say…. Well done, and well deserved, for sure!

You did a lot of work for them with your reviews. 4 machines (Mara, MaraX, Elizabeth, Bianca). Before those machines and your reviews Lelit was pretty much an unknown brand over here. And now… One of the favourites.

Very nice of Mauro to have recognised the work you have done for them. A true gentleman.

How nice! Well and truly deserved. Hope @Paolo_Cortese and ACS will do the same! 😊

Btw, photos please!

    LMSC Ha, ha, hahahaa….no!

    I won’t get a chance to unpack Bianca until I return from Naples, although I hope Lelit go to the coffee festival in Trieste (last 5 days of October) as I will be there. I will drop him a message.

    LMSC

    i’ll cook for him much better than a coffee machine 🤣🤣🤣

    in any case Dave have some of my protypes not only a standard machines, some are also signed with my blood 😬

    also i’ll teach him to drive in naples at no cost!!!

      Paolo_Cortese Great hearing from you! Hope you had a lovely summer break!

      I always thought if some one can drive safely in India, one may drive anywhere in the world! Perhaps, I should reconsider! 😃

      On a lighter vein, that alpha patient is on a ventilator, needs some blood transfusions and life-savings drugs! 😂🤣🤣🤣

      I will pop in when I visit Naples next time.

      One question, if you don’t mind asking! Have you guys resolved the scratches issues on the lever we have had in the first 2-3 batches please?

      Thx for chipping in!

        LMSC

        i never been in India, in any case i think that the worst place to drive is in Portugal….

        when you will come in Naples you are welcome, we have an extensive course “how to build the machine”

        about the scratches we have solved made the scratches ourself before the shipping, 😁

        in any case we are using a washer under the spring in order to avoid torsion nut we need more time to see if the problem will be fixed definetively…

        i’ll keep you informed.

        if someone will travel in north of italy in the end of october we will be at Trieste coffee trade show from 27 to 29 and everyone are welcome to drink a cup of coke!!!

        finally we will present the Vostok 1 group in the definitive version we new interesting news……

          Paolo_Cortese if someone will travel in north of italy in the end of october we will be at Trieste coffee trade show from 27 to 29

          I will be there too….so come and say hello.

          Paolo_Cortese in any case i think that the worst place to drive is in Portugal

          I’ve driven in Portugal and Italy… I think I agree with Paolo. There’s something about Portugal (And I actually learnt to drive in Brazil!) that kept me on edge.

          Anyhow, good luck @DavecUK with the driving lesson around Naples! 🤣

            DavecUK

            It’s not necessary the driving license here, if the police will stop you you will speak in English and they will not understand and they will leave you alone. In any case in the trade show you will say “Ciao” not hello 😁

              Paolo_Cortese also i’ll teach him to drive in naples at no cost!!!

              If you can get him to drive in Naples, he will have acquired the skills of a F1 driver! I remember an Italian friend picking me up from Capotichino airport this one time and giving me a lift to his house on the back of a Vespa. How I survived the trip to this day I still do not know. To cap it all his mum asked if I was a little tired from the flight as I looked rather pale………

              Latest takeaway cup delivery to my house…instead of the roastery…I really need to double check my delivery address’s when ordering things, 2nd mistake in 2 weeks!

              My first Timmy W. beans. They arrived much earlier as part of a group buy, but I was on vacation and then after that the Covid hit us again. But was able to venture out and am exited to try them tomorrow.

              Flooring for the lounge hall and the kitchen now the sub floor has been fixed. Hopefully everything will be finished for mid-november when the new suite arrives.
