    Thanks Tom - that's reassuinrg. Will see if I can get goats milk round here, and see if that helps. The issue I have is infalmmatory bowl disease (had it for ages, and have a flare up approx every two years. I stopped coffee a month ago and things are better - but it was one of a number of...

    Hi - was wondering if anyone on the forum had been warned off coffee due to having inflammoartoy health issues? I'm heavily invested in my coffee and want to avoid having to give it up!!

    That meant to say Skoda, not slide! Damned predictive writing....

    That's a very sound analysis - I was one of the kickstarter backers and have had mine for a few weeks. It's great build quality, but it's really just another bit of kit that I lived very happily without for decades. It's fun and I like the process of roasting etc. Etc. I couldn't justify the...

    Do any other Ikawa home roaster people know how to share recipes? Is there are site where you can post recipes and get tips? I'm enjoying my new toy - but would love to hear other peoples experiences. I've been trying to get a darkish roast on Peruvian Cafe Feminino and happy with the result.

    yes - I love it! I confess to not having the most refined palette, but a year on I don't regret pushing the boat out at all. It took a while to find a bean that suited it, and once I find something I like I tend to stick with it, and I'm not experimenting with different beans all the time, so...

    Just spend far too long dodging work and reading the 'what weighs 38lbs" thread - all interesting stuff..... I noticed at one point Frank says that you should remove the lower funnel once a week or so and wash - is that still current advice?

    I like the sound of minimal maintenance! The previous grinder was a Mini Mazzer timer version - I liked it, but the retention bothered me. I don't think I will be able to judge taste for a while - I'm between machines, as I had a LM GS3 which I used with the Mini Mazzer and I am expecting a...

    I'm the proud new owner of a modified Versalab M3 which I got of Slas111 a few weeks ago.... its great, but as there aren't any instructions with it, I would be grateful if other Versalab owners could let me know what I need to do in terms of routine and periodic maintenance?

    Hi Nod - did you manage to make any progress with it? I got the plumbing bits from http://www.espresso-solutions.co.uk/la_marzocco.asp - they will do the service kits / o-rings as well. good luck...

    good luck!! the video makes it looks pretty straightforward - but that slide hammer thing looks pretty key to the operation? Can you get a group head gasket kit easily?

    I went through a phase of buying old Atomics whenever I found them - when I lived in Sydney in the early nineties they were legendary stove top machines. Although I am now a bit anxious about the affects of aluminium on the ageing brain, and have considered buying an Otto from oz, but they are...

    ok here are some more pictures......my camera doesn't like focusing on anything closer than a yard apparently, but these are take na few moments ago. The bottom burr screws were pretty tight and I didn't want to risk forcing them too hard- but the top ones are now a lot cleaner than they were...
