Yup... it's a single... apparently supposed to help maintain heat and crema in the shot... haven't tried it yet as I can't remember the last time 7 grams was enough coffee for me

On that note... will be getting myself a naked and a 21g basket from coffeeparts.com.au

Thanks Brett... perhaps we should start up a proper DB Club... with T-shirts and secret handshakes... a gang of sorts. And... our natural rivals would be those nasty HXers on the other side of the train tracks ;-)

Fantastic looking machine you have there, well done indeed!

Nice machine Vinitasse! I like it and the fact it's not one many of us would have encountered much, can I ask where you got it? Good luck with it and keep us posted on how you two are getting on

Thanks for all the nice comments folks. It's day 3 now and I am liking it more and more... although the strange portafilters take a bit of getting used to. To answer your question... Segafredo Zanetti is the importer in Australia (www.espressoitalia.com.au) and they are based in Perth but service accounts and customers all over Australia. They have service/repair centres in all major capitals as well. And... for those who may wish to know... the cost was $2499 and shipping was free.

Yes it's overdue now going on 4 months KK

Yes... This machine seems like brilliant value for money. Love to know what it's like to live with? Ive gone ahead and sourced a possible contact for our gang shirts but I've specified fluros and pastels. I don't think any of the major gangs are using them yet and we may be seen as trend-setters.

WTF is the go with the PF ? I'd love to see more pics of that. Very odd indeed
