@coffeegeek this was a lovely article, and tempts me a lot. I’ve been looking at manual espresso machines and I’ve had the Flair 58 in my wish list for a while, and this one is forcing me to reconsider if the Flair would be for me. It seems the Superkop is more of an art piece while the Flair is the more “functional” one, where functional is a mix of ease of use and versatility. But that wall mounted machine is definitely a showstopper!
