Our service has Wheels

We recently added a new member to the Great Infusions Service team...

The Scion XB is a super economic cargo utility car.
It holds as much packing peanuts, boxes & bubble wrap as a small pickup....
I can easily store my service gear in the rear hatch without folding seats.

Averaging 30 mpg... I Love That!

Separated At Birth

Pasquini will not admit it, but the Livia 90 is made for them by Bezzera.
Both of these came in with flow meter errors and the Livia had a shot expansion valve.

Check out these views:

They appear different with Pasquini wrapped in Stainless & Bezzera in Plastic panels.


The top view shows same boiler layout:

Side 1 shows control box (same gicar) and relay (same finder)


Side 2 shows same placement of p-stat & same flowmeter...
