Abstract: The Cafelat Robot manual lever espresso machine has been eagerly anticipated since Paul Pratt began to reveal it in April of 2016. By then he had been working on it for a year. Anyone who knows about Paul would have high expectations because of his reputation as a premier restorer of espresso machines from the 1950s and 60s. The journey from concept to manufacture can be a long one, even for someone with Paul's skills and his access to manufacturing and fabrication sources. For those who committed to the first batch on Kickstarter, the wait is nearly over, and you won't be disappointed! As someone who appreciates vintage lever machines, I feel extremely fortunate to have a demo version of the Robot sitting on my counter so I can offer first impressions. Soon you will see this review joined by several members of Team HB. Now let's get down to business!
