    Machine now sold privately. Mods: Could someone please close this thread. Thank you ?
  2. Sold
    Am I missing something? I used the dimensions of the original box and the shipping weight as quoted by Nuova Simonelli and it's coming to ยฃ28 just for Parcelforce48, without the insurance. With insurance it was ยฃ44.something inc VAT. Is it cheaper at the post office because NS have got the...

    @Dex - Can I throw it out there and ask what price you would be open to, inc postage?
  4. Sold
    @Dex I've had a little look at calculating postage. For the size of the box, weight and the insurance cover, it comes out around ยฃ40 from most carriers. Let me know if you want me to look into this more specifically or if there is a particular (cheaper) courier that you'd like to get a quote...

    Hi all, After much deliberating, I have finally decided to pull the plug and sell my Nuova Simonelli Oscar 2 machine. This is due to the machine sitting virtually unused in my kitchen for the last two years. I'm by no means an espresso expert. I tried to learn (thanks to all the members who...

    With Square Mile bags being 350g, we tend to have plenty left even 10 days after roasting and we do get similar issues. How would an OPV on this machine benefit us? I've seen quite a few places are now offering to fit them to the Oscar 2 before it ships.

    Hi Dave, An example of something we've been brewing up and our flow would be: Square Mile Red Brick, roasted on Thursday, delivered on Friday, used on Saturday. Machine left to warm up for about 30mins to 1hr. Using the RR55, 18.5g of ground coffee into an 18g VST basket, smoothed, tamped...

    Hi All, It has been just over 12 months since I last posted here and whilst I have been lurking, I've found my interest in coffee has dwindled. I have reached a point where I am no longer sure that the equipment I have is right for me and generally just need to decide on a direction to go in...

    I totally appreciate the opinions everybody has put forward relating to used grinders. It's something I'd consider looking into, but for my own piece of mind, I think I'd still probably prefer a new grinder - I'm just stubborn like that. With that in mind, I'm interested to get an opinion. If...

    Probably should have mentioned by now that I'd prefer something new. I would consider a used grinder but would be happier with factory fresh.

    At the moment, my primary objective is to find a grinder that plays ball with the Oscar. The bells and whistles are not a necessity. A big consideration though is only grinding what I need. I'd rather avoid anything that holds a lot of grinds inside. Also, I don't have enough rep yet to access...

    What would you be suggesting? I've read stuff about the Mignon competing with more expensive grinders. What should I be looking at?

    Hi All, I've been lurking for a while and decided to finally pick some brains about my predicament. I've been drinking V60 and French Press for a while, but last year decided to get into milk based espresso drinks. Being naive, I bought a consumer espresso machine (at a good price compared to...
