    Oohh now there's an idea

    Problem is, if you've suffered a bad experience you feel the need to let others know, a good experience doesn't prompt the same as it was what you expected to begin with. We have those 'hows my driving' stickers on our vans. How many positive responses do you reckon are given, regardless of how...

    You have to hope his taste in coffee is better than his taste in women otherwise thats gonna be one nasty pull

    Now you're a proud owner of a Classic you may want to invest 30quid here. The improvement to steaming is well worth the outlay and effort. It really is a simple but worthwhile mod.

    Also on the subject of tampers, the Espro tamper is a good investment as it takes one of the variables out of making good espresso. It aint cheap tho.

    Hi & welcome. As a relative newcomer myself you'll get more experienced advise from other members but for my part I will be the first to say that concentrate on the grinder first. Have a look through the threads on grinders and you'll get an idea of what's about. There's a list of online...

    Indeed, I've been holding my breath for over a week now

    As the thread starter, and my issue has come to a conclusion, I see no reason why this thread shouldn't be locked as further discussion will only be going over old ground.
  9. 👋 Introductions 👋
    You're not alone, I've always liked the idea of having a nice quality coffee/tea shop in some quaint holiday destination, but I also appreciate that it's a lot harder work than it is in my dreams. Unfortunately I don't have the knees to be on my feet all day so it will have to remain a nice...

    I'm no expert but since putting a Silvia wand on my Classic I'm now making good progress and refining my steaming rather than blowing bubbles with the original.

    Oh don't get me started on the mess . I'm getting tidier but my first attempts left the counter top looking like a freshly dug grave . Especially inverting the portafilter to check the tamp, which if nothing else, proved gravity!

    A couple of weeks on and I'm already showing coffee related injuries, a couple of steam wand bites and a pinch on my palm from a particularly spiteful incident pushing the filter in the holder, to name a few.

    Unfortunately thats the main problem with internet purchases, even the slickest of websites could be a one man show operating out of lock up. However, we should still expect a standard of service which is clearly not present in this case. It's funny, at work I have to operate under the basic...

    For what it's worth, I had no luck with phone or email but I did send a fax and someone called me the following evening.

    I see you've seen my thread so you know you're not alone. On a mildly positive note, it does seem that the contact issues are for a reason other than the company's gone under. Although, how long they'll stay trading if recent experiences are anything to go by is anyones guess. They will not get...

    No, they are Enrico White from Coffeecups.co.uk I've had the espresso cups for a while but only recently added the bigger 180ml ones. They are a nice simple design, quite chunky on the espressos which I like.
  17. 😎😎 Show Off Your Setup 😍😍
    The original wand was used once and there's only so many soap like bubbles I can take. To be honest I was thinking about training too. I know from experience that it generally better to learn a skill before bad habits develop. Time wise I may need to get my holiday out of the way first...
  18. 😎😎 Show Off Your Setup 😍😍
    i went for the Gaggia & Rocky combination in the end and more than happy with it. My barista skills are the weak link at present so I'm in no position to pass judgement on the respective performance of the kit. I will say that coming from a Nespresso machine, via a brief encounter with a beans...

    I can now shed more light on the situation. I have now received a call from one of Peter's friends who is, like Banish says above, is doing what he can in difficult circumstances as Peter is in hospital having suffered a stroke. Apparently he is recovering well but is not likely to be released...

    To be fair, I accept the slight delay in dispatch as it's hardly the worst thing in the world. Also, sometimes there are problems, through no fault of a seller, with stuff that is delivered. What I am taking issue with, is the inability to contact anyone by any means. As I said before, it's...
