I realized that I've been using this setup for like 4 years or so, making coffee every day, and have been super happy.
For Christmas this year my wife got me a La Pavoni Prefessional lever machine to go in our soon-to-be remodeled kitchen.

I've been having a lot of fun with it, especially during lockdown. It's a challenge. The internet is no help. I go to coffee forums and people tell me to so a certain thing to get a good pull from the level machine. Then I go to another thread and they tell me to do something which contradicts the first thread. I suppose it's no different than the bike world, the guitar world, or any other weird, nerdy gear obsession I have.
