Good to know I have one of these at home....
so.... just re-reading schomer's book and discovered that he does not recommend these machines for a busy espresso bar due to ergonomic concerns. is this machine hard on the baristas?

> is this machine hard on the baristas?
I was hoping Kevin would chime in on this one....when I asked a Gimme barista how she liked the Idro, the response was positive. She commented that it put her more in touch with the coffee.
Oh my gosh, I'd love to work on that machine - can I have a job at gimme!?
It's hard on a barista if your counter is too high. You want the pressure you exert to be placed entirely on your bicep , tricep and shoulder muscles... your arm should be at a 90 degree angle (L-shaped) for the duration of the pull down. Since it's a CMA group, once the lever is down all the way, it locks down during preinfusion - which takes some strain off.
I certainly wouldn't want to use it at place that does 75lbs of coffee a day!
I am the owner of a espressobar called Espressofabriek in Amsterdam. We are working with a 3 group Idrocompresso and I can recommend it to everyone. It makes the beste espresso and workout you can imagine. When pulling 5 kg coffee a day it's a bit of a workout. Nevertheless it is the best espressomachine I can imagine and it makes making coffee a theatrical experience.
It looks great and it performes great.
Thanks for article!
