    Hello all! About 8 years ago, while honeymooning in Florence I was given a single espresso and it changed my world! I had never drank coffee before that moment, and haven’t gone a day without since.
    I started with pre-ground Lavazza and a Moka Pot. I’ve upgraded over the years, and currently use a Lagom P64 with a Lelit Bianca. I’m extremely curious about lever machines, which led me to researching the ACS Evo Leva and this forum.
    Hoping to learn from everyone here and have some interesting discussion. And maybe be talked into upgrading yet again :)

      Welcome to the forum….we like nothing better than helping people spend their money 🤣

      BillyG You have a cracking set up. Please post your set up. What’s wrong with Bianca? It’s an end game combo for most of us. Of course, you could also buy the Evo!😀

      Btw, welcome to the forum!

          Hi all, only found the link today from the ‘old’ site. Great to see so may people here. I’m still on a learning curve. Had my ECM vSlim for about 6 months. Get’s used a few times a week. Trying different Coffee’s & enjoying the journey.

            I suspect he just fancies a change, or fancies a Lever…..I think that’s all part of the hobby for some.

            Welcome to the forum mike, I some on CFUK are very unhappy our links are on there, but I am very happy you found your way here. 🙂 it’s a nice community, very friendly, and we’re quite a busy site now.

                @DavecUK Thank you! I appreciate that, although my wife may not ;)

                LMSC

                Thank you! Yes, it is a fantastic setup. The Lagom is newer to me, have been running it about 6 weeks or so. It’s very refined.

                The Bianca is amazing! I bought it in March of 2020, right after all businesses, including all coffee shops, shut down due to the pandemic, because my Quick Mill Silvano went down. It was a great decision as the first espresso I pulled, not even dialed in, was better than anything I had ever made before.

                And yes, the Evo is just me desiring a lever machine. I’m always chasing the next thing

                Here’s my setup:

                      BillyG Lovely setup! Actually it’s what I would love, you should definitely upgrade and sell the Bianca and Niche to me 😁. Enjoy the experimenting and convincing the wife, I’ve just started trying to do the same haha.

                          Alexvs has made your job easier BillyG ! If you buy the Evo, you can sell him the entire setup with all accessories. You can then start with a clean slate. 😬 😉

                                  Alexvs I like the way that you think ;) Working on my wife is proving to be more difficult than I expected, I need to continue to chip away at her resistance. Plus, I live in the US, I’m guessing you’re in the UK?

                                          BillyG Haha they give in eventually.

                                          Oh yeah I’m in the UK, never mind I’m sure you’d easily find buyers for your kit as it’s lovely. Everyone here is super helpful, I’ve gone from planning a distant future upgrade to now wanting it today and the wife has said yes as long as I try to spend less. However she’s also wary at me spending a lot on used gear so think she’ll have to suck up potentially me doubling the budget for new 😄
