Coffee Lounge ☮❤Hi all. I've picked up a second hand Moccamaster. The machine itself is clean and in great condition but the whole thing smells of fabric softener or something similar. I assume this happened while stored in its box in a cupboard, as the box has clearly suffered spillage damage in the past. I've...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹOK, I waited until the machine was thoroughly dried out, but it still tripped. I've now bought a new element, and it's currently heating, so all looks well! Thanks for the help.

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹThanks Bill - much appreciated. Its the RCD that's tripping, so fingers crossed it was just some residual moisture. I drained the boiler again yesterday, so it's currently sitting dry, and I'm waiting overnight just to be sure.

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹThanks for the replies. I am pretty confident it was all dried out as I left it overnight, but I'm going to double check again tomorrow just to be sure. Re: tripping, it is tripping the mains circuit. The fuse in the plug isn't blowing. It's 5A, I'm not sure whether that is the correct value...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹYes, it's all exposed - still has the sides & back off.

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹHi all, I have a Nuova Simonelli Oscar 2. It had a leak near the gasket on the element, so I replaced the gasket, descaled, and put it back together. Now, as soon as the heating element tries to kick in, it blows the fuse. It works otherwise, in that the pump runs etc. I have tested the...

😎😎 Show Off Your Setup 😍😍Exactly what I was going to say! I still use them as my main scales, and in all other respects, they're great, but not being able to weigh in the portafilter is a PITA.

😎😎 Show Off Your Setup 😍😍Don't know with my current batch... I drew a shot when it first arrived, it looked 'about right', tasted great and so I didn't change anything. I know - heathen, right?! The earlier batches took a bit more effort to get a sensible yield (60g). Latest is 'there or there abouts'.

😎😎 Show Off Your Setup 😍😍Another member PM'd me asking how I was getting on with my Oscar 2, so thought I may as well give an update here as well. I'm really pleased with my Oscar 2 - it's a huge improvement on the Gaggia I had previously. We mostly drink cappuccinos and the microfoam it produces is as good as I've...

😎😎 Show Off Your Setup 😍😍I've spent the evening dialling in the grinder and pulling shots through the Oscar. It took me ages, mostly because I was initially making changes that were far too big on the grinder's dial, so was battling between not getting anything at all or pulling pints instead of shots. I eventually...

😎😎 Show Off Your Setup 😍😍My Coffee Corner is coming along nicely! One week ago, all we had to our name was a Cook's Professional coffee maker and a bag of pre-ground coffee. As of today, Coffee Corner looks like this: * Mazzer Major with TiN burrs * Nuovo Simonelli Oscar II with OPV mod * Grindenstein * 330ml...

👋 Introductions 👋Progress update: I saw jonc's restored Mazzer Major in the For Sale threads and bought that. It should be delivered tomorrow. That will be a grinder for life, I reckon! I've bought a little camera hood hopper and the idea is I'll replace the doser with a funnel, then grind on demand. Regarding...

Announcements ArchiveI never met him, but knew of him via vx220.org.uk. Small world. Very sad.

👋 Introductions 👋Yeah, I am aware of those limitations, and have had a dial ready for adjusting the OPV since purchasing the Gaggia, I just never got around to doing it. Of course, being aware of the limitations and being able to understand/appreciate the difference is something else... I'm fine tweaking and...

👋 Introductions 👋Thanks for the advice everyone. I've purchased a used Mazzer Major from the for sale section, and will stick to the Gaggia for the coffee for now! Clearly people are able to get good results from the Gaggia, so I'll focus on getting decent beans rather than spending vast sums on a new machine...

👋 Introductions 👋I found it a while back when first learning how to make a decent coffee! I failed then but am now determined to give it another go!

👋 Introductions 👋I guess my overall budget is max £1000, but I was thinking that was for a machine and a grinder...I've completely stripped down my Gaggia to descale and all looked OK, but I've never had a decent coffee out of it. Might be a case of garbage in, garbage out; I don't know. Also, we mostly drink...

👋 Introductions 👋Thanks - that's certainly food for thought. It hadn't occurred to me the amount of coffee left behind to go stale in the grind. I'm happy to go second hand, and always happy to mod things, so maybe I'll look into those options as I don't have thousands to throw at this. Is there a general...
