Haven't had one of those in years, and I don't think ever on the rocks! Will have to amend that soon.

Nice rig and accessories HJ! The hat ain't bad either.
Thanks Bob. It's an Olympia Club spring lever made in Switzerland in the '70's I think (can't remember the serial number for the date). It has a nice big brass boiler, hot water valve on the left, steam valve on the right so it serves as my hat steamer too. There is a '60's Italian Arrarex Caravel manual lever/open boiler that sits beside it (220v with a step down transformer). I've cleaned, lubed & rebuilt both of them with new seals, springs, etc.

Vintage espresso machines & coffee grinders are another passion of mine. Here's a pic without all the clutter.
