Dry_bean After my less than stellar experience with the Aeropress during our recent trip and after quite a bit of research I've ordered a Rossa & Rosco Kit. The expectation is that during our next sojourn morning coffee will consist of espresso and Turkish, SWMBO will be able to enjoy an evening flat white. Hope the devices live up to the hype and don't become expensive display pieces. :-|
Kelsey At least they'll be pretty (if expensive) display pieces, if worst comes to worst. 😉 Seriously tho, they look great, I'm anticipating a full report, hopefully with video, once they arrive. Wow. That sentence had a lot of commas.

Wow. That sentence had a lot of commas. Hope the worst does not come about : a full report will be forthcoming, perhaps with a couple of jpg's, certainly won't be moving pictures i don't go there. 😉

UNM don't know how you will manage a flat white with that setup. look forward to a review when you get it though.

askthecoffeeguy wow - that's a great looking kit - I wonder how long it will be till a cafe opens up only offering this form of extraction? I see it happening in Sydney first...
Ol_Grumpy Great stuff, Did you get the profile version with the pressure gauge or without? I've actually asked Ross to do a demo of his kit here in Brisbane and he said he would... Dependant on; when circumstances allow. Mark at Old Joes in Coorparoo has also made his shop available as a venue for Ross, when and if circumstances allow. As for a Cafe offering Rossa brews... Well it could work as a boutique brew, but the one thing this system will struggle with is volume... The emphasis is definitely on supreme quality, not quantity. The machine will certainly handle as many multiple brews as you want to pull- but doing this on a commercially viable basis... Well good luck with that. Congratulations and Enjoy! Don't forget a few pics.... OG

Your right, this is most definitely not a system for making numerous back to back shots (it doesn't claim to be) more on my thought after it arrives and I've had a chance to play. 🙂
Brett_H Congratulations on the purchase mate! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it once you are up and running!
C-man I just got the the Rosco Mini Hand grinder and love it. There is really nothing Mini about it, it is just perfect size and shape, I am 6'2" tall and 88kg so I am not a small guy, this is it in my hand. It is a real work of art and cuts through the beans rather than crushing them. It really lifted my game! I would recommend the mini, as Ross said the regular grinder will be phased out once he runs out of stock and he has adapters for the mini now for different baskets ect.

Having seens the Rosco handgrinder at the SE QLD meet I think you'll be happy. Very well made, and easy to use. I would have loved more time with it one on one with the same beans, and the lusso. I might just have to buy one! Maybe you should clear the discarded coffee equipment cupboard out to fund your purchase. I'll be interested in your aeropress. 😉

I subscribe to your 'keep it close' policy DB. Ours is a hobby as much as a craft and part of the joy is the journey, the exploration and revisiting taste experiences for nostalgia and enjoyment.

You never know, just resurrected my 40 year old copper Ibrik (polished up a treat) in anticipation of the new grinder. :🙂
