New resto!



This old timer snuck into the workshop this week for a full restoration.. a 1957 La Cimbali Macinadosetore. Its not quite complete so there will be a fair bit of fabrication required to bring it back to factory spec..

This was a build carried out for a local cycle shop Kiwivelo Cycles in Auckland. Visually, it's definitely our most out there build, using Kiwivelo's signature burnt orange and electric blue it holds its own for sure.

Limited release hybrid..





Next in for the rebuild is something a bit different.. featuring B61 gradual infusion groups with mechanical solenoids (lever actuated), this hybrid should turn out a pretty special coffee! Will give a full mechanical run down once its stripped down.. stay tuned.

We'll be restoring this beautiful machine to its former glory over the next few months. And with the few tweaks behind the scenes, it should put all the 'replicas' out these days in their place..
