Ah, and older one!Does it have the 2 way switch? I'm not as familiar with the older Pavonis as others here. Unless I'm mistaken (and I sometimes am) the piston is brass, not plastic in those machines. Keep it, Google threads on how to get the most out of it. Especially as regards maintenance.
Lots of folks say that they get awesomne shots from those older machines. Keep your Caravel, it is a jewel. I wish I had one. I'm machineless right now. Look on www.orphanespresso.com There are pictures of the 3 basic models of Caravel. You'll see which you have. (if you don't already know.)
Jim, the previous page I did included the Lusso. A while back, Doug at Orphan espresso "modified" the Lusso's he sold...just to make them more user friendly. I think a way to adjust temperature without removing the casing, and some other cool stuff. As he's so busy building his grinders, I'm not sure if he has any of this Lusso's now. Has a hot water tap, a plus for some.
