    Woowoowow tell me when you upload :D I'm so excited how you will review it 😅
    *Update: just finished watching, I totally forgot about the footage of us working together :D It was a great time having you in the shop. I'm completely amazed and relieved about the thick crema you pulled out of the machine.*

    I'd have a hard time using that machine for fear that I'd mess up the glorious perfection. A museum piece, masterpiece ❤

    Thank you for the shout out!!! So glad I was able to get a pump over to you guys - there isn't a more deserving machine than this beauty, and I don't think there is a better pump than the FG304 for a super high-end espresso machine.
    FANTASTIC work on the restoration @NTRprojects - this is a sight to behold! I love everything about this project and am honored to have gotten to play a very small part in it :)

    incredible! when I look at the initial phase of the restoration, the cleaning, the screws that had to be redrilled, and all the other "surprises", it became obvious that this is a labor of love for you both. Congrats on persevering and creating a beautiful restoration!

    A beautiful restoration. Look forward to seeing it in use pulling shots! As a newcomer here, I've been fascinated by that Faema Marti single-group, always sitting behind you, seemingly unused and neglected. Would love to see multiple shots being pulled on that beauty on some future episode. Regards.

    I originally watch the restoration video on Dr. Beer then I saw the logo he made for you. That took me back and I took a second look to confirm it was for you. I looking through your channel and I couldn't find the video but you finally released it :). I knew someone experienced in espresso was interested due to the IMS shower screen lol. I'm eagerly looking forward to your next video on it!.

    Amazing video like always, can I suggest you make a video about motoring hand grinders? There are a few options out there but I consider them very pricey for what you're getting and if there's a economic version of them(a driller is out of the question because the rpm are so high it destroys your hand grinder in no time and it creates a lot of fines)
