    Hi again. I gather that the instructions for the Porlex come in Japanese? Is there an English user guide on the internet somewhere, or something less formal which could do a similar job? Thanks, I was just wondering about cleaning, changing the grind settings etc.

    Thanks Looksee, that works for me. I had wondered if the handle would come off but hopefully I can learn the nack of keeping it on. Have you see the youtube video of someone using an electric drill instead of the handle? Its probably not great for the grind (heat?), but it was funny to see...

    Hi Glenn, as a new member I'd like to add my thanks to you for the site, given this chance. While there are a bunch of US coffee forums its nice to have this from a UK perspective, and so far it seems a very friendly forum. Regarding the advertising, its great not to have intrusive popups and...

    Hi, can someone who has one and does this tell me how long it takes them roughly to get enough for a double espresso out of the Porlex? I'm thinking of getting one as I currently have an old Zassenhaus hand grinder, but when I try and set it small enough for espresso the beans seem to get in a...

    Okay, I think the exploded view shows the 2 tubes, 35 and 48. 35 seems to be the pressure release and 48 goes to the pump. Which is which? Can I just assume that the longer one is the suction tube? I'll give it a try, I guess.

    Thanks again. I've done the descaling and backflushed it. The water in the drip tray after backflushing was coffee coloured, is that normal or hadn't it been done for a while? Anyway, having hijacked the thread, I have another noob question: In the water tank on the classic there are 2...

    Thank you for the link to your website:) Last night I found a couple of exploded views but none as clear as the one from your site. As you say, part 38 is what I seem to be missing. It looks like the discharge tube (37) is perhaps attached to part 38 but that 38 is not attached to anything...

    Thank you. But what does it push into? From what I could see it pushes into the nut, which itself is screwed to something above it. And I can't see anything to screw the nut to, or any way to hold the nut up. What does it screw to? Thanks again.

    Hi everyone Opened my ebay Classic today, plugged it in and with prompting I got hot water out of the steam wand, brew group and steam out the wand, so good so far. Now this might be a stoopid noob question, but I can't fit the decompression tube thing. I looked on youtube and it seems to...

    Great to read that you fixed it Martin I bought one off ebay last week and paid twice what you did so it sounds like you did get a bit of a bargain if its all up and running now. Bit worried now, mine's sitting in the box at home and as I haven't been home yet I haven't had chance to see...

    Thanks everyone, particularly LookSeeHear. I've got a Desire as well well, Nexus One anyway. You mention a mod for manual control of the fan on a popcorn maker. I saw an article a while back with a manual fan mod for the Poppery ii, but as you imply that might be transferable to other...

    Hi everyone, I'm new here I'd read with some interest about people using popcorn makers as makeshift coffee roasters. A popular one seems to be the Poppery ii, and a quick search of US ebay shows that Poppery iis are often advertised on ebay as a possible coffee roaster. Anyway, my question...
