Brewing Equipment Part IV

This is my espresso machine and grinder. The espresso machine is an Expobar Office Pulser. I purchased it from Whole Latte Love and have had it for about 9 months now. It took awhile to get used to it since I had a Saeco Rio Vapore prior to this, which didn't really require any knowledge to operate regarding grind and tamp. This has been a wonderful machine. I especially like the E61 group head (not an actual E61 but a knock-off) due its heat retention capability. The Expobars are manufactured in Spain.

The grinder is a Rancilio Rocky with doser. It works great and produces a very consistent grind. Some people have complained about the doser but I like it. Keeps the grinds from going everywhere. The Rocky is manufactured in Italy.

I catch the brew in the Reese's cup. We live near Hersheypark and its a nice local touch.

Both pieces of equipment are extremely well made and solid.
