    I have set of Brewistas free for whoever wants them. They had the usual water ingress into the battery area, got flaky for a while, then stopped working. I stuck them in a cupboard and bought some Acaia Lunars. Anyway got the Brewistas out today and now dried, they seem to be working fine, in...

    Is it just me who finds cleaning your machine enjoyable? Just spent a great hour stripping down my grinder, good clean, new beans dialed in, the back flushing my machine, cam lube, good wipe down and polish, most enjoyable! All ready to go

    Selling my Espro click tamper. Don't really use it anymore, was great for getting my 'tamp feel' sorted. As far as I can see no significant scratches or marks. It's 58mm, sorry I don't have any calipers for exact measurement.

    There have been a few general comments about the Vesuvius being the only true pressure profiling machine. The logic is that the Vesuvius changes the actual pump speed to control pressure, where as the R60v controls pressure via a stepper valve further up the flow stream. As an R60 owner, I...

    Well as you know the Rockets internals are basically a Zenith 65E, that has a portafilter / chute light, and the Rocket doesn't. On taking the top off the Fausto, the lights there, just blanked off with a big metal plate. So suffering from light envy, I took mine apart, drilled some holes in the...

    My OCD Distributor arrived in the post on Friday, together with a new Torr 58.55 tamper. I'm amazed at the difference they make, the distributor particularly, very simple but clever piece of kit. My fausto grinder clumps a bit, light fluffy clumps, but still clumps, the OCD just deals with it...

    Finally got around to putting my bottomless portafilter and VST basket on to the R60; probably been delaying it due to subconscious fear of 'a spurter' :-/ I'd forgotten how much finer you need to have you grind with the VST baskets, soon dialled in though, and no spurters over the front of the...

    I was just wonder if anyone had played with profiling and decided on some generic traits. E.g. Soft in, soft out will mellow the shot, high straight in will brighten it etc. im still getting used to the machine so have used as simple profile to start, 8sec at 4 bar - 21 sec at 9 bar just while...

    I'm selling my beloved Giotto Evoluzione V2, bought new from Bella Barista May 2014. Usual light scratches on the drip tray, otherwise unmarked, also has the optional metal cup holder surround. Comes with all accessories originally supplied. Currently plumbed in with a water filter system. Not...

    So it's finally arrived. Landed with Bella Barista from Italy yesterday, fedex overnight and with me by 9:30 this morning, perfect. First impressions: Heavy, very well built, and very shiny! I also asked BB to see if the Eureka short hopper fitted, which it did, so had one of those sent over as...

    Bought new from Bella Barista 12/05/2014, have paperwork. Unmarked condition apart from the usage marks on the portafilter holder. Short bean hopper, stands 43cm (just under 17") tall with hopper and lid. Great condition, not much I can say about it really, only selling because I've bought a...

    I've just started playing with a VST basket, wow, huge difference. Much finer grind required for a 2:1 brew ratio at around 27sec. Do you guys include or exclude pre-infusion time from your pull time? I'm finding the shot a little bitter when excluding it, but in reality that equates to a 33sec...

    Is it just me, or do pretty much all of the new breed of independent coffee shops serve only a generic flat white / cappuccino? They list cappuccino, latte, flat white etc, but they always make them the same? I usually like a flat white so it suits me, but occasionally order a cappuccino as i...

    Rocket Giotto Evolution V2 and Mazzer Mini E type A. Love it, but have a Rocket Fausto grinder on the away, and I really can't stop looking at a Rocket 60V, just seems so expensive compared to a R58 though :-/
