    Hi. My brewtus steam boiler has stopped working. The electricity is getting through to the boiler but it looks like the element has gone as the resistance is wrong. Does anyone know where I can get this repaired as I'm slightly out of my comfort zone replacing a dangerous high pressure part...
  2. Retailer Reviews 🙈🙉🙊
    Absolute nightmare stay clear would be my advice. I bought a Expobar Brewtus just under a year ago for a good price. I was taken in by the U.K postage and 2 year guarantee... It also arrived with a euro plug and cheap adaptor after being posted from Italy. It recently developed a fault in the...

    Thanks John. I'll send him a message.

    Confucius is probably right! Whenever I've compromised before its not gone well... 2nd hand londinium it is. Always nice to be given a certain amount of validation, especially now I have permission from my better half!

    Hello! I have a question. I have a Compak E8 grinder and a Fracino Cherub. The set up is great but I've had my Cherub for about 6 years now and want to try a lever machine. I'd love a londinium but my budget is about £1500 so it's unrealistic. I've heard of the new mini londinium but I need milk...

    Czar street is always an easy go to for me. Really easy to pour, not too dark or light. Just right. Dark arches is as it says on the tin, quite dark. Really good.

    How about a lever machine? I've been eyeing up a londinium L1 recently for basically the same reasons you stated in your post. Easy to clean, very reliable and just seems to work.

    Another vote for a happy donkey bottomless. Used it with my gaggia classic and now with a fracino cherub. Fitted both just fine.

    Dave I will give that a go thanks! I've also had a very good private message explaining a few things which has been very helpful! Got to be worth a try...

    Thanks for all the replies. I did try to loosen off the screws and locate the burrs more centrally but it didn't seem to help very much. There wasn't enough play to get them central. The video shows the best I could manage. If the retailer has been able to and they are now aligned I will be very...

    I think the big example that comes to mind is the foundry yirgacheffe. With the M80 the strawberry really came through the flavours were all there, really nice. Now it just tastes muddy and muddled. The strawberry is nowhere. A bit of a lesson here for me in that sometimes it's good to stick...

    Thanks. I think the shaft the burr carrier sits on is straight as I can't see that moving. The burr not being true to the shaft is exactly what I was trying to say, thanks! I said in the email to the retailer that if eureka had said, we see there is some movement there but we don't think it's a...

    Hi. I'm in need of a bit of advice. I've owned a grinder for 3 months and while cleaning it one day I started it on a 1 second run. I looked directly down through where the bean hopper goes and noticed a sideways wobble in the bottom burr. I took the top burr off and did the same run and took a...

    Olympus 75e with mythos burrs.

    Really pleased you got it up and running. Its a great machine.

    Hi. It was really very easy. Just unscrew the covers, it will be clear how the pump comes off and which parts you need to take off the old pump when you see the new one. There are some exploded diagrams of cherub parts on the internet, they show you how everything fits together and once you have...
  17. Fracino Forum
    Get in touch with fracino. They will point you towards where you can buy a new pump and will probably help with how do fit it too. I bought a second hand cherub and replaced the pump, took about 10 minutes. Failing that try espresso underground.

    I went from French Press to a bialetti which got me through countless waking night shifts. Then came a gaggia classic with cheap krupps burr grinder. After a few months upgraded to an mc2 which was a huge jump. A couple of years later and a new job bought me a fracino cherub and a quamar m80...

    I've always found that lighter beans grind finer but you may also need to put more in the basket to get the right clearance from the screen. Conversely darker beans, grind coarser but you get less coffee in the basket. Probably not by very much but half a gramme in something like an ims basket...

    Pretty much hits the nail on the head! Thought it would be better than it was and to be fair was getting used to working around it's flaws until I got lent a super jolly, I was expecting it to be worse but it was much better. This is my opinion with the beans I use and my setup. Others may have...
