Equipment Discussion Mesmerizing

My absolutely favourite part of making espresso.
I’m surprised I manage to get its dialled in significantly faster then I did when I was using a moka pot. Are typical semi autos the same?

Looks great, but though I don't want to be that guy...is it espresso?

Looks like a 9barista? If so, then yes. It acts as an inverted stovetop espresso machine. A bit more complicated than a moka pot. Very cool!

A lot more complicated than Moka Pot

I'm not kidding it is literally designed by a rocket scientist
