   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.
