Gauges? We don't need no stinking gauges. How do you all find time to make coffee between polishing all that chrome and reading all those gauges? WTH?
Yo Fl'ink - moving my machine around for filling is an issue for me, too. I never plumbed mine in. I got a $1.99 thin roll-up plastic "cutting board" at WallyWorld to place the machine on and scissors-trimmed it to size just matching the Oscar footprint. The rubber feet of the coffeemaker grab the plastic but the underside of sheet slides easily on countertops. It's invisible but it's like the machine is on wheels.
