The sink cab is pretty tight, are you planning on installing any water filter system? Don't tell me you're using direct tap water for your carbonic maceration and anaerobic processed Geisha beans!  |

@cafe22 - I was thinking of just installing a direct line into the system as I have a Kinetico whole-home system, but decided to get a BWT filtration system, unless you have any other suggestions. The water is quite hard where I am and actually lead to the demise of my Rocket (limescale build up) and that repair was not fun.
I didn't think of getting a pitcher rinse since I don't really make a lot of milk-based drinks. I'll steam milk for my wife and maybe top off my espresso with whatever leftover milk and simply take the pitcher, rinse in sink, and put it into the dishwasher.
Where do you suggest I place the espresso setup? Thanks for the suggestion on the sink cabinet setup. You have to remember that I'm still using a Rocket Giotto Evoluzione v2, not a La Marzocco GS/3 or Linea Mini. I may bring the lever machines down once in a while, but that's it.
@snowball - This is not a kitchen renovation. This is a new wet bar being built in my den. Good suggestion on the switch and LEDs. I didn't think of that.
