Had a bit of work done on the kitchen and ended up with smaller space for the coffee corner. Still getting to grips with it but replaced knock out box with a drawer as a stand for niche which works really well. No need to pull the machine out to refill the tank though !

prezes it all looks really good very neat very functional, but one thing I don’t like is standing grinders on knock boxes. In fact I wonder if the chap who recently had, I say recently probably a year ago had the burrs in the niche rusted together or something was standing his grinder on a knock box, I never thought to ask.
For me the issue is a grinder standing on a box containing damp pucks, and there’s a vent normally on the top of the box I think yours is on the front. I guess if you use the knock box for storing accessories that’s absolutely fine, which is all I use my knock box for, but if you’re putting damp coffee packs in it I would imagine the water vapour comes out of the front vents.
DavecUK thanks Dave, I was thinking about that. The vents are up the front so not covered by niche but just to be on the safe side I keep the drawer open for few minutes after knocking out to get most of the steam out. I will keep my eye on it though!

This is a bit of an old pic I found on my computer but as I have not yet figured out how to post images on here when logged in on my mobile, this will have to do. Pic is from about 2016 when I got the E37s. Essentially the same setup, except I also have a little Motta jug and a proper Coffee Catcha that Systemic gave me. And Jake’s Black Mirror scales, with which I am largely happy. (The beeper stopped working, but it was annoying anyway so I am not too bothered!)
My now complete set up, however the wife says I can’t keep a whole corner so likely the Osmio will move somewhere else lol.
Just over a month in with this machine after having a Sage Oracle. Still awaiting a knockbox and bottomless portafilter that are on back order but the coffee is goooood!
Cheers

Nice!!!
Ernie1 I recon there is a clear mat under the machine that we can’t see (hint).
Just finished setting up my updated coffee bar setup having received the Evo Leva recently, and played around with some shots on my camera this weekend. I am currently testing the Decent, Evo and 2 grinders side by side…not sure what will be staying longterm, but it’s a very fun journey testing it all!
Looks nice - love the contrast between the back wall, steel and sideboard!
pipedreams86 I’m really hoping you popped a right angled USB extension cable into the port on the right hand side of the touchscreen as you look at it to support any future upgrades, via USB key. Good catch by ACS on the screen and it is hopefully now in the FAQ. @Eiffel
LMSC Sorry Dave, I lost you. What’s is this please ? Thx
Firmware on the Evo is upgradeable, if an upgrade is made…this is via a port that’s helpfully on the RHS of the display. This means one cannot remove the lid and simply plug in a USB/C key or adaptor cable!
With a thin RH angle adaptor cable, then one could simply grab the interior end and plug said USB stick into it. I think it’s Micro USB, can’t remember offhand. so something like this
Goodfella A great looking set up. I aspire to that level of order and cleanliness! Maybe once the kids are grown up.
