The coffee library... - 2006/05/01 11:28Will post this as a poll as well -
I wonder: How many of our readers actually have a "coffee" related book in their library?
It is a good question - I have about 10... but that shouldn't surprise anyone.Colin is the Senior editor and creator of the CoffeeCrew.Com Website

Re:The coffee library... - 2006/05/01 13:19I have four, yes four at last count, wonderful books about coffee machines. Plus one on SU carburettors.
As luck would have it, not one of them has a decent picture of the wonderful, amazing and unique ATOMIC designed AND built by Signor Giordanno Robbiati from Milan, Italy. He patented his design in 1947 and produced the lovely item until the late seventies.
Luck you say? Yes it is. Because I hear that sometime in the near futur a book featuring ONLY this unique, incomparable and certainly incredible invention is going to be made available for all to discover the uniqueness of this design. I can't wait....Frederick Nakos is the Global authority on the Atomic Espresso Coffee maker.

Saeco Incanto, in general, is garbage. We've had ongoing problems with ours (that you can see at the web link in my profile).
Have you had the machine serviced at all? Or just a call to ask if the...
