As the big move overseas is fast approaching, and the new (old) lever resto is almost done, it's time to say goodbye :'( :'( to my last resto project which has served faithfully over the past couple of years.
What's on offer is a La Cimbali M27 2 group & and an Anfim Lusso grinder, both of which have been painstakingly restored and used only at home for 6-8 coffees a day. The Cimbali produces a very high quality of espresso, and has massive steaming power. I have had some of the best shots I've ever tasted out of this machine & grinder combo....
The machine was FULLY stripped, front stainless steel panels polished, all painted panels have been professionally sprayed with metallic silver, and every seal & gasket replaced. Every component was dismantled, and full dissasembly right down to the frame. It has a new vibe pump, two new solenoid valves, teflon anti-vac, and a very expensive custom made 'incalloy' (type of stainless) element that should last the life of the machine. It also has a new stainless steam wand.
Since the resto, it has only been used with a water softener & filter, and was recently descaled (didn't really need it), and had new seals fitted.
Included with the machine are two Cimbali group handles, a naked handle, two synesso 15gm baskets and a Pullman tamper customised to fit them.
The grinder has had new original Anfim burrs fitted, a new hopper, new doser glass, the doser professionally polished, the timer replaced with an original backlit Anfim power switch, and the body sprayed metallic silver to match with the 2 group.
Price is $3000 for both, including the tamper & other bits as described. The machine is still connected and available for anyone to try out and taste a shot from.
Here's some pics taken at the time of the resto, but it still looks pretty much exactly the same.
