    Due to a series of fortunate incidents I find myself the beneficiary of a brand new set of Brewista II smart scales. I already have a set of the version 1 scales so these second edition rechargeable ones are surplus to requirements. They are brand new in box complete with the instruction manual...

    As an upgrade to my existing Brasilia RR55OD I bought a Simonelli Mythos grinder from a fellow forum member a few months ago. It's quite high mileage and after stripping it down for a deep clean I found the current Ti burrs to feel quite blunt so decided to buy a new set of Ti burrs for it. The...

    My current grinder is a Brasilia RR55OD which I'm really happy with now I've got the static issue resolved, but the one thing that isn't ideal with it is the fact that it isn't step-less, having 80 notched steps of grind adjustment. I've been googling around trying to see if there are any mods...

    Having done a mini group buy of these a few months ago it's been working great without any issues until yesterday. Woke up and the thermometer display was blank and the on/off button wouldn't turn it on. No problem I thought, the battery probably needs changing. Made a coffee and went to work...

    A friend at work emailed me with this link after they contacted him about advertising on his groups facebook page. http://www.tankcoffee.com/ They are based in Leigh and prices seem about average at ยฃ6-8 a bag but includes free postage which sounded good. Then I noticed that they are actually...

    I'm trying to remove the lower burr carrier on my Brasilia RR55 grinder but it seems to be jammed on really tight. I've removed the central nut and tried using an improvised "gear pull" made from a small piece of scrap sheet metal but the when I try to pull it off by screwing in a centre bolt it...

    Where's the ISOMAC sub forum gone ? If I search for a post I previously posted into it the post now appears under the "Grinders | Machines | Accessories" sub forum. Is this intentional, and if so why ?

    I have my machine setup on a simple plugin timer so that it comes on at 05:45 each weekday morning so that it's fully heated up and ready to go when I get up at 06:30. The timer turns off automatically at 07:00 by which time I have made my morning coffee "to go" and am on my way to work. This...

    I've just replaced the pressurestat on my Isomac Tea and apparently it's not unusual to have to replace these every few years so I thought I'd post some pictures and tips on how to do it. The cheapest place I found in the UK for a replacement Mater XP110 pressurestat was Bella Barista. BB sell...

    Over the past month or so my ISOMAC TEA's pressure gauge has become less and less stable, with the needle being a blur as it bounces around as the shot is pulled. It started to do this intermittently but has gotten progressively worse and the range of the fluctuation has gotten larger.

    Since we now have an ISOMAC thread I thought I'd post some pictures of how I insulated the boiler on my Isomac Tea machine. I used an A4 sheet of Silicone Sponge that I purchased on eBay; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230688253972?var=530036104237&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649...

    Months ago I bought a pressure gauge and convertor to attach it to me Gaggia Classic portafilter. It was nerve wrecking cracking the double spout off my portafilter but it worked well for me and I set the OPV to 10bar static as recommended by other members. Having set the OPV I put the gauge...

    I'm currently in Glasgow (south east) on business and wonder if anyone can recommend any good coffee shops ? Hopefully I'll be getting away from the customer site in next hour or so and am gasping for a drink.

    Unfortunately the handle of my Gaggia Grinder (MDF) snapped off the other morning, fortunately this was AFTER grinding the beans so I still had my morning coffee while pondering what to do next. After taking the mechanism apart to examine and hopefully repair, I decided that I'd never liked the...

    I'm trying to "recondition" my old Coffee Deluxe for my son to use and have found that the steam want is spewing water everywhere. The water is coming from the actual nut at the top that connects the steam wand pipe to the machine. I've taken the wand off and tried refitting with PTFE tape on...
  17. Gaggia Forum
    I'm about to pass down my old Gaggia Coffee Deluxe (i.e. no solenoid) to my eldest son to use in his flat but I want to replace the brew valve (little spring and rubber tip) as I remember it had started to drip and leak steam from the group head. Looking at the rubber tip it looks like its been...

    Does anyone know of a Uk supplier for a suitable replacement tip for my recently acquired Isomac Tea? I'm struggling to produce decent microfoam with the standard 2 hole tip (I think its the original "Tea 1" tip I have).. I could certainly produce much better results with my old Gaggia Classic...

    Just over a month ago I bought a lovely Gold Gaggia Classic from another forum member (D_Evans) as a small upgrade from my Coffee Deluxe. I think it must either be cursed or house a Genie that grant you wishes when you polish it because I believe D_Evans upgraded to a Expobar Pulser shortly...

    Hi everyone I just joined the forum to learn more about pimping my Coffee machine. I ordered a ยฃ12.99 PID+SSR+TempProbe off eBay (from China) and am hoping to improve my shots on my Gaggia Coffee Deluxe + MDF grinder that I've had for around 5 years:)
