I took some time this afternoon to clean out my 20+ year old Briel Multi-Pro 
espresso machine. I got it at a sample sale in 2000 for $50, minus the ESE 
pod attachment - no big loss there.

This unit has been in occasional use since then. A little vinegar on the 
group head to get some dirty bits cleaned off, a quick once-over, run a 
couple of shots of steam through it to get rid of anything sitting in the 
pipes, and off I went with a new brick of Lavazza espresso.

I got a beautiful pull out of it, nice layer of crema. Not bad for a used 
old espresso maker.

I'm planning a kitchen remodel, am thinking about making a coffee station - 
some place where I could have a drip coffee maker, espresso maker, a shelf 
for a couple of glass jars for coffee, and a burr grinder to be purchased at 
a later date. I figure that instead of buying pre-ground espresso roast and 
drip coffee I could buy one coffee bean and change the grind as needed.
