    Hello, I'm in need of guidance, please. I've sold quite a bit of stuff recently, so can sort of justify "swapping a load of things for one thing" and with a new bigger kitchen... it's time to upgrade from the Rancilio Silvia/Auber PID that has served me so well. I have a Mazzer Royal, and I...

    ... but have been avoiding looking at shiny edifices to coffee for fear of stoking the dreaded upgrade fever. Basically, I am looking to replace my Isomac Tea with a new machine. 3 criteria for the upgrade are: - Dual boiler (to move away from the HX type) - Rotary pump (for noise control)...

    At the moment I have got a early Classic with the steam wand upgrade , brass dispersion block , ims shower screen and Pid control and opv mod. I am happy with the coffee produced ( 75% milk based ) but it can be a bit of a lonely affair producing coffees when friends visit mainly whilst waiting...

    Hi all, Just trying to ratify my thinking before splurging large amounts of money. Basically I am looking long term to upgrade both machine and grinder. The only question here is how *long* the term is, this could be measured in years potentially, although you never do know. So basically I...

    So, one thing I don't enjoy is the noise my machine makes. Its a reservoir only vibe pump model dual boiler. Questions.... Can I upgrade the pump to a motor? If so, what're the recommendations motor wise? Other than the motor are any other parts needed? (I plan on continuing to use the...

    Hi, I have recently bought a Rocket Cellini Evo to pair up with Rancilio Rocky grinder. I think the Rocky is now the "weak" link and upgradeitus has struck! I am considering buying new and if deal with Bella Barista is still available I thought the Eureka Zenith 65E would fit the bill. Is...

    Good evening all! As many I have started enjoying espresso at home with a Gaggia Classic and Eureka Mignon grinder something like four years ago. I have always had trouble with consistency. As I knew I went with a relatively "low budget" option, I could live with that, and it helped me learn...

    Time for an upgrade from my beloved La Pavoni Pro pre-mil. Got it from coffeechap in amazing condition 2 and a half years ago, and have since then upgraded with a bottomless portafilter, 49.5 mil tamper, new basket, aluminium funnel for my HG one and so on. As you can imagine with the money...

    My Krups grinder recently packed in and after reading posts on here and elsewhere I have just ordered a new Eureka Mignon to replace it. I have owned and used a Gaggia Cubika machine for the last 10 years, but I am now thinking that it may also be a good idea to upgrade my machine to something...
  10. Sold
    Reluctant sale of my coffee setup. Rocket R58 V2 purchased from Claudette at Bella Barista in 2013. Very light use hence sale. Only ever used Volvic bottled water so the machine is very clean. Meticulously looked after, fresh water backflush and wiped down after every use so no water marks...

    For Christmas I'm getting a s/h classic ( I know I am, I bought it yesterday ) It has the Silvia steam wand already. I'm just thinking of accessories/add ons/upgrades that I should put on my list I've already got a pid and a timer, which I never fitted to the delonghi, so those will be...

    Hi! We use currently at the cafe 2 Super Jollys, doser with custom timer modification, but the are starting to show that they are slow. 11-14 sec for 18-19 grams. I want to change the one with something faster. I know that the Robur is extra fast, but it is twice the price of a Major E...

    Hello all. Now you were all very helpful and offered sage advice a few months ago, and I ended up with a Gaggia Classic and a Porlex hand grinder, which I have been using happily for a few months with Kopi/Monmouth/Square Mile espresso beans. However, I popped into Monmouth Coffee and the...

    I was considering a bean to cup machine, but I have been advised by you helpful lot not to. So I'd like to replace gaggia classic. I've got a budget of £1000 for a machine and grinder, can be slightly flexable but ideally not over £1100. The easier to use the better, as I'm still a novice...

    Hi Everyone, I'd like to go for round 2 of my home coffee set up and upgrade my grinder/espresso machine combo. For quite a bit I wanted to get a Silvia but thinking about it I'm not sure if the upgrade is really worth it, I might go a step higher and look for a hit exchanger or a double...

    Thanks to this forum, I am now substantially poorer, though mentally / physically happier. About a week ago I was asking all sorts of questions but ultimately wanted to upgrade my kit. I went from a Delonghi Icona and Dualit Burr grinder to a Gaggia classic, Mazzer SJ (both second hand) and the...
