  1. Coffee Lounge ☮❤
    staffs is west mids right? we have Has Bean i know that much, been a few years since i had anything from them as ive been out of the game but they used to be one of the best roasters out there

    i have a mazzer super jolly that ive used for years, its always done me proud but yesterday i got a new machine and with it came a grinder, so i did a litttle research and it appears to be a rebadged compak k10 which im reading are very good, does anyone have any experience, is it worth...

    The fracino appears to be plumbed but its a commercial one not a domestic, i think its the old version of the bambino but im not sure, its just generic fracino 1 group no one seems to name them its kind of odd but as this one is out ofrange of me getting it really ill use it as an example...

    sadly the expobar is an auction one, its just a hope it doesnt go over my budget. im strongly leaning towards a fracino i think,im not sure of the model exactly but its one of the lower end commercial units, simple 1 group type thing. there doesnt really seem to be much out there to match the...

    i did look at the temp duo but it seems like quite a step down from what im used to. right now im looking at an expobar and a few fracinos and even a bezzera i just cant decide which way to go

    a while back i got an astounding deal on a fiamma latina i and its served me well but its now due both a serious servicing and a new water filter at minimum. being that its both old and rather rare i think the cost of a service and parts will far outweigh the cost of an equivalent or better...

    well my luck only ever lasts so long it seems! after making a brew yesterday i pushed the steam wand back and "Clang!" the wand falls of, whipping the top off the machine i see whats happened, the adjustment screw/bolt that holds the arm onto the valve assembly had sheared of inside, somewhat...

    i hooked it into the mains, well i spurred off the mains into a 30A cooker switch which i mounted on the wall and connected it to that anyway. sadly im a dirt poor bum who only has his equipment through lucking out over the years so i cant afford a sparky sadly, much like the reason im stuck in...
  9. Coffee Beans
    thanks guys looks like itll be a sack of raves italian job then, it just really stings to throw away a nice espresso because ive already drank so much im shaking like im having a personal earthquake, ill have to get a ton of people round to drink all the spare shots. whats causing me issues at...

    thanks. i wish there were separate breakers but no, there is a single (possibly bacolite) fusebox containing one 5A one 15A and one 30A fuse. one switch on the fusebox and one on the single breaker, whole house on or whole house off, no inbetweens. at a guess id say this house was redone by a...
  11. Coffee Beans
    does anyone have any recommendations for somewhere to get really cheap beans to use for learning and tweaking my machine? ill admit it im an impatient git, ive got a new toy and i keep wanting to make more shots to get it right. however theres only so much i can drink and it seems both a waste...

    I currently have my machine hooked up to a 30A cooker switch, as its a commercial HX machine it takes a good half hour to warm up at least, so i thought it would be nice if i had it turn on in the morning and get hot before i drag myself out of bed, sure i could use a boring old timer for this...

    thanks, i must have just lucked out when i reassembled that bit then as it hit exactly 9 bar (on the gauge on the front anyway) not bad for a "looks bout rightish" kinda job! ill try to disassemble and clean up it at some point soon to stop the leak but it is just a drip so its not something i...
  14. Coffee Beans
    i find if you dont rest it you have to grind fairly coarse compared to most beans but i actually quite like them in the early days, at that point you definitely get the most of that heavy funky leather/aniseed taste which i personally love but as you rest it that dies off a little and the brew...
  15. Coffee Accessories
    Im finally in the middle and i dont think ill need to go much higher, im now pretty much using commercial equipment which all told cost under £200, ive been awfully lucky with my finds and theyve landed me with a dream setup that i think will stay with me for a long time Early Years: Hand Mills...
  16. 🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹ
    wow, thanks for all the help guys i wasnt expecting so many responses for such an obscure machine, i ended up having a bit of a busy day yesterday so i didnt get chance to snap any pics but im going to have a crack at a few of the fixes suggested here, granted i can get the nuts and bolts to all...
  17. Coffee Beans
    i have to admit to using rave a lot myself lately, its just such good value its hard to go elsewhere and i think the brazil fazenda capim branco is the best bang for buck SO ive tried in a good while and if im honest its probably my personal fave coffee of 2016

    Its been a long old time since i stopped by these forums, many years ago i managed to nab a mazzer super jolly for 80 quid, paired with a gaggia classic i was fairly happy with my setup for a long time, but while browsing an IT Recyclers stock for some server ram i stumbled across this beautiful...

    the best answer though is to get rid of that god awful arm all together and fit a rancilio one if you can
  20. Coffee Beans
    oh god dont ask, i was both broke and without transport so had to walk to asda for a bag of their columbian, its better than nothing but i think thats all i have to say about it, well no it is better than tescos stuff, i dont know how they manage to ruin those beans so comprehensively. roll on...
