  • I'm still in. Many thanks to Dave and Ron, I've learned a lot over the past 12 months and discovered several favourite roasters.
  • billcoxfam commented on the thread DSOL Rave Coffee !!!!.
    I've been enjoying these for the past few days as I got to grips with a new grinder. Really good in 5 oz flat whites. Probably my best...
  • I would bid £1,050 if the sale doesn't go ahead. Bit of a journey from here but I'm intrigued to know what the difference upgrading...

  • billcoxfam commented on the thread 2 Knock Boxes - £35 & £40 each.
    Cam, I'd pay £30.00 + postage for the one with the white bar. I'd pay now but could you hold onto it for a few weeks?
  • billcoxfam commented on the thread Ponte Vecchio Lusso.
    I had a PV Lusso for over 2 years and had no problems. It was a great little machine and made a good espresso although volume is small...

  • billcoxfam commented on the thread DSOL dusty ape offering.
    These could become another favourite, would definately order again. 16g in and 30 to 35g out. Rich chocolate flavours preferred as a...
  • billcoxfam commented on the thread DSOL coffee compass offering.
    First attempt was my usual 16g which generally works well in the L1 standard basket. This over filled the basket needing a firm tamp to...

  • billcoxfam commented on the thread SJ Whippy Mod.
    Does the Whippy cap not create static? I tried something similar with an upturned plastic funnel but coffee stuck to it like crazy. So...
  • billcoxfam commented on the thread £100 for a new grinder.
    That Rocky looks as good as new, I've just sold one on EBay for > £160.00. Great value at the asking price and built to last.

  • billcoxfam commented on the thread DSOL Rave Coffee mystery bean.
    We really enjoyed the first bag in flat whites but now, after a bit longer resting, this bean is producing exceptional espresso. I...
  • billcoxfam commented on the thread Stale grains.
    I would be very interested in this type of mod. I assume the drop into the funnel breaks up any clumps. This seems to have been a...
  • billcoxfam commented on the thread Stale grains.
    Would it be possible to remove the guts from the doser and then drop the steel funnel into the doser at an angle? That way you would be...
  • billcoxfam commented on the thread L1 queery.
    Yes, that's the blog that prompted me to change the settings.
  • billcoxfam commented on the thread L1 queery.
    Not really, it seems to work very well at this setting which was recommended for an ambient temp of 20C. My main improvement comes from...
