Home Espresso Machines in SF

Does anyone know of a shop in San Francisco that sells home espresso makers. I've heard that there's one that's been around for decades - do not know the name. The owner was featured in a local magazine earlier this year - have been digging for it with no luck.

I'd like to go to a shop that sells a variety of makes and therefore isn't overly conflicted. Also, one with experience.

thanks,

Martin

    It's been a few years since I was there, but he specializes in the more traditional styles (e.g., Pavoni), as opposed to the "automatic" machines.

    If he still sells it, try a pound of his coffee. It's incredible.

      That's the one - many thanks.

      Can't wait...
