The Ultimate Espresso Machine Restoration

[@NTRprojects]

Woowoowow tell me when you upload :D I'm so excited how you will review it 😅 *Update: just finished watching, I totally forgot about the footage of us working together :D It was a great time having you in the shop. I'm completely amazed and relieved about the thick crema you pulled out of the machine.*

[@Desmond987]

I'm so jealous I wish Lance would pull thick crema out of my machine as well🥵

[@mothmansuperfan7513]

I'm glad I'm not the only one obsessed with watching restoration videos before bed

[@ecr8044]

I'd have a hard time using that machine for fear that I'd mess up the glorious perfection. A museum piece, masterpiece ❤

[@LanceHedrick]

Make sure to hit like, share, etc if you enjoyed! this video took a lot of time, effort, and money to make. All support is super appreciated! And go give Dr. Beer a sub!!!

[@aklamo]

I’m a fan of both Lance and the good Doctor Beers, so I’m super pleased with this collab ❤! Thank you both 🙏

[@karasong7701]

Lance drinking a dark roast ristretto for the video is MAD dedication! 😆

[@wecoffeeco]

Thank you for the shout out!!! So glad I was able to get a pump over to you guys - there isn't a more deserving machine than this beauty, and I don't think there is a better pump than the FG304 for a super high-end espresso machine. FANTASTIC work on the restoration @NTRprojects - this is a sight to behold! I love everything about this project and am honored to have gotten to play a very small part in it :)

[@NTRprojects]

Thanks Jared

[@sandrochiavaro7831]

That video should have come out on Christmas morning because it’s a freaking gift. So satisfying and impressive .

[@jrloayzac]

I cannot recommend more watching the restoration video. Absolutely beautiful!

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you mate

[@pimacanyon6208]

incredible! when I look at the initial phase of the restoration, the cleaning, the screws that had to be redrilled, and all the other "surprises", it became obvious that this is a labor of love for you both. Congrats on persevering and creating a beautiful restoration!

[@1974UTuber]

It went from a workhorse coffee machine to an absolute work of art. Its stunningly beautiful now

[@matz4k]

I nearly had a heart attack when I saw your name on the side panel in NTRs video. Absolutely excellent from him!

[@michaelrossmaessler200]

Such a beautiful machine with blue color and brass. And it even makes coffee! 🙂

[@Arnold-o3z]

I've watched the restoration. Nice work.

[@JulioCesar-nc9tc]

wainting for this video since @NTRprojects posted the restoration.... i was really excited when i realised that the machine was a colab with you.... thanks a lot for this....

[@jamesmitchell9667]

Beautiful machine, congrats to you both for bringing this back to life 🎉

[@TURBOGUATE]

What a lovely restoration and taste. Cheers!

[@Mynutca]

Очень красивая! Отличная работа! 🌺

[@JeepBigE]

Probably the most amazing restoration I've ever seen. The transformation is unbelievable. 😍🔥

[@Iam-BruceLee]

Finished product is beautiful. Well done Lance!

[@DeLucaEspressoRepair]

What an amazing transformation! Restoring vintage machines is amazing 🤩

[@dariosarti2791]

The color combination is absolutely FANTASTIC! Love it!! :)

[@MattBlind]

Absolutely gorgeous machine! Dr. Beer did an amazing job.

[@davidarrowsmith865]

Wow, that machine is gorgeous! Loving the blue and brass colour scheme. Great video

[@coffeecove7058]

Sweet. Very nice. Really enjoyed the video and it is nice seeing old things restored. Tx for sharing.

[@eamobyrne1]

Beautiful restoration and machine. I also never knew those Bluetooth transducers existed. That's gone straight to the top of my Santa list. Thanks Lance!

[@christopherguy1217]

Fantastic. What a good looking machine, great restoration job. I love that dark roast flavour.

[@davidtester863]

The back of that machine is unbelievable 👌

[@MattCampbellca]

Bravo. Just discovered this channel today. Masterpiece. Great haircut, too!

[@TRDFanatic]

Christmas came early this year! Thanks for this amazing gift Lance! Absolutely gorgeous machine! If only I lived in Portugal and could get a nice Ristretto from your upcoming barista shift. Cheers! I hope you brew something tasty!

[@drevo50]

Ace restoration! The machine looks superb.

[@nathanshelby1446]

Absolutely beautiful espresso art thanks for sharing and I loved Beer’s video too on the making of the machine he has such a grift! What a craftsman!

[@marckirschbaum]

Amazing Lance! I love to see the combination of an antique espresso machine with some integrated modern tech parts. Congrats to this unique machine.

[@fantanaranja]

love the restoration and appreciation for a machine that is meant to last lifetimeS (plural). We used to build things like that and can again...

[@nickbaillie4925]

This is a lovely project, showcased beautifully in the video. I love the way you present coffee info :-)

[@scottscottsdale7868]

Very very very nice video. Well produced. Incredible restomod of this machine. It is beautiful.

[@mcini11389]

Beautiful restoration. I love the mix of keeping it ls character while also updating the look and Technology

[@TyagiOG]

My brother in coffee , THIS IS YOUR AESTHETIC lance !

[@OneIdeaTooMany]

I’ve been waiting for this video for so long! At the time I thought it would be great if you got to test it but it wasn’t until after the video I found out it was going to you. I was so excited! Still am and I’m only up to 2:41 at this point!

[@rodandroid7]

What a beautiful video Lance, I'm going to see the all restoration process.

[@brentroman]

Beautiful video. Beautiful machine. Beautiful work.

[@skrziwanskrziwan2923]

This is so cool! lovely machine and a fantastic restoration. please, do make more videos like this!:)

[@Savings_and_Grift_Plan]

That blue and brass color combo is absolutely primo stuff.

[@spinaquanable]

Have seen the restauration its been a miracle. Thx to both of you to revive history

[@Charles-pg6wx]

What a beaut! (The espresso machine looks good too.)

[@Lafmans]

This is insane!! pure craftmanship

[@andresrivas3475]

You are amazing ❤ that is a beautiful job 😮

[@XMarkxyz]

I've already seen the restoration and was waiting for your review which is, deservedly so, enthusiastic

[@Ducky39101]

Omg that is such a gorgeous machine, Amazing work!

[@espressomatic]

Incredible build.

[@DigitalicaEG]

Lance is looking more and more 4K HD each day, well done!

[@greysuit17]

Beautifully redone! Love this!!!

[@juangmalta]

Looks genuinly stuning, congrats on such a great project

This is just beyond amazing!

[@bp060]

It's so amazing what can be revived if given the right care!

[@cascaderetriever7618]

😍. Beautiful. Keep the misspelling.

[@milerkos]

IT'S A MASTERPIECE 😎

[@VincentvanLeijden]

Bedankt

[@bacca71]

A beautiful restoration. Look forward to seeing it in use pulling shots! As a newcomer here, I've been fascinated by that Faema Marti single-group, always sitting behind you, seemingly unused and neglected. Would love to see multiple shots being pulled on that beauty on some future episode. Regards.

[@nazgullbg]

Beautiful! Maybe you need a slightly ticker silicon group gasket to prevent having to tighten so much the portafilter

[@BBuchanan3]

Very cool. I too love this kind of thing.

[@brunonjezic6208]

Wow that went stunning

[@Papayaboy69]

The contrast of the speed Lance was talking before and after the spro HAHAHAH sick video man

[@lucianogonzalez8597]

10/10 no notes. So effin' pretty.

[@EarthbendR]

Now, a series on restored espresso machines would be absolute dynamite. Heck, I MIGHT even get KZbin premium for that Lance content. Just saying (whispers: *please do this*)

[@MLGPVP]

I originally watch the restoration video on Dr. Beer then I saw the logo he made for you. That took me back and I took a second look to confirm it was for you. I looking through your channel and I couldn't find the video but you finally released it :). I knew someone experienced in espresso was interested due to the IMS shower screen lol. I'm eagerly looking forward to your next video on it!.

[@coreycannon4511]

Oh, Lance… She’s a beauty!

[@Alberto-bu7gt]

What a nice machine!!! Excelent!

[@conradurch5956]

I would do anything for a machine that beautiful 🤩

[@cjoysoy]

so beautiful

[@chronicmango]

Incredible!

[@gui7torres]

Did the same pump modification with the exact model on my Oscar I. Best mod I ever made on an espresso machine. Flow control by knob also

[@sambeckman5308]

30 mL/s would make my espresso machine jealous so I will have to watch that update in a different room.

[@marckirschbaum]

What is the exact idea of having such a high flow rate? Can you explain? Thanks in advance

[@Bbarm97]

i had a full exposed brass and copper pavoni and let me tell you brass looks even better when aged.

[@Bbarm97]

i polished it first and over 2 years or so it ages and looks much doper imho

[@franz2241]

Awesome! Greetings from Stuttgart..!

[@pedrocamara8495]

Amazing video like always, can I suggest you make a video about motoring hand grinders? There are a few options out there but I consider them very pricey for what you're getting and if there's a economic version of them(a driller is out of the question because the rpm are so high it destroys your hand grinder in no time and it creates a lot of fines)

[@cascaderetriever7618]

14:04 “You’re going to take out the flow restrictor inside the mushroom cap” That’s what she said. 😂

[@slofty]

Just imagine how thorough a "my mechanics" YT channel espresso machine restoration would look like, what with all the new parts just up and being machined anew.

[@coppliable]

Stunning work!

[@newfguy1826]

Bravo on the new haircut!

[@12345urbana]

Beautiful machine

[@wilhelmpaulm]

they basically built a new machine half way from scratch, damn that's wild

[@paulsutton5713]

Mate, I'll drink that for you!😂

[@_xnk7257]

there’s a video series about an old ECM refurbishment that is so insane. Series never finished tho

[@shadowbrand97]

Stunning

[@SaucyNum3]

Amazing man!🎉❤❤

[@ThEsHAdI2981]

Fantastic video!! BTW it’s ‘scaldatazzE’ 😂

[@bartstaton2059]

looks great man thats awesome

[@1337Dennis]

Ah heck yeah! 13:40

[@MaximusPanin]

I would like to know more about the E61 coating and what was used to paint the EMI logo.

[@Jake_G_HB]

Great work as always, buddy! Now, yank that jiggler out! (Also, where are my royalties for that footage of the Micra?)😅

[@LanceHedrick]

Have at it. This video will make like 200 bucks over a one year period lol

[@constantinedinocopses6806]

Beeeeautiful!

[@MrShortanswer]

This is super cool

[@Teemoney199]

Oh hell yeah

[@TheSwoon69]

GOGO JUICE!

[@dragonflykat]

I love the blue! What shade of blue is it?

[@bookies24k8]

my mans got a haircut! edit: that machine is beautiful btw

[@MrFlapstick]

Is the blue a powder coat? Did you check the everbright on the brass steam wand is food safe?

[@GregoryM1]

Lance! What an outstanding machine! Did you keep that boiler bolted or did you weld it for safety? If it's bolted, what's the pressure of the spring in the OPV?

[@moshter11]

You should start an espresso machine resto mod company, like how Singer does for Porsche.
