I've been lurking for a while so though I'd say g'day Hi I'm wonder, and I've been interested in coffee since staring shift work about 10 years ago (paramedic) Started after a mate made me a coffee on his sunbeam cafe series machine and grinder, I then purchased the same setup which lasted a few years. Then the bug hit.. Grinder after grinder, came and went till I got a big conical, then I pay'd the machine forward and got a small vbm jr.. 🙂 Then I became disillusioned with the local beans I was buying so started roasting my own... That set up lasted about 6 months, now I've just purchased a KKTO from Kosmo ( which is on its way with some roasted beans.. Thanks Paul ). this came about due to all my work colleagues coming around to drink and "borrow" coffee ( you can't really borrow beans :🙂) from my bean cupboard. We would go through 1/2 to 1 kg of browns every time they popped round, so I needed to roast more ( any excuse to upgrade) Again the bug has hit and I'm in the process of getting a restored vintage lever. This should hopefully be the end of my upgrades... I honestly can't see anything worth upgrading to after this. ( that's what SWMBO is hoping ) Other interest are alternative medicine, health fitness and lifestyle choices. Cheers Wonder

A warm welcome the the Crema forum Wonder I am sure that you will fit in right at home here Also there are many lever heads lerking here And may you enjoy many hundreds of trouble free roasts KK

Welcome Wonder, what sort of lever are you looking at? There are quite a few of us here with the 'lever fever'!

Wonder

Faema Lambro, I figured I may as well try and just buy one and not follow the upgrade path like I've done before 😃

C-man checking in here---- Met a few of you at the Sunshine coast get together, what a fun bunch! and what a great Party! Let's see about me? I moved here from CS after the meeting today. A low tech kind of guy, using a Rosco Hand grinder and a Presso to make Coffee Always looking for that great coffee and great bean, Starting to think it is a illusive journey because of all the variables. After talking with AM, we both concluded; "There is no such thing as Great Coffee, only a great cup!" Cheers!

UNM

hi c-man, good to have you here. I was going to ask if anyone from CS made it to the gathering. I now have my answer

C-man

Yep, it was a huge success We never hit that good-God shot, but had fun trying! AM had his Spanish Machine trying, but he was not satisfied with any of them. The wood fired Pizza was unreal! they really have that dialed it now with some really interesting toppings The best Pizza I ever tasted hands down----EVER!

Had a bad night's sleep last night and found myself surfing the Net and thought I'd catch up on some coffee conversation. This resulted in me visiting 2 forums which I used to frequent very regularly. I think I have just woken up from a coma and a civil war has been going on :o I recognise a lot of the names so I hope the people are the same ones that were around a couple of years ago. Anyway....just saying Hi......again 🙂

beanflying

Welcome along, it's more like a migration program than any war too 🙂 Some of the names have remained the same and a couple have changed to protect the innocent :angel: Kick back relax and enjoy :thumb:
