I was at the Wesley 4 weeks ago. We had our second child there and loved the place as much as we did the first time. A very well run hospital with loads of support for Mums. :thumb:

If you were local to me I could offer you a breadmaker for corretto duties, but it is a bit of a drive from S.E Melb. Wonder if anyone up your way is selling a roaster or parts to make one.

There was talk of this 'toddler' roaster on CS a while back. I had an offer for a guy to buy me one and post it up here - I think it was Melbourne or Sydney. Anyway that guy fell through and I haven't been able to contact him via CS ever since. That's the sort of thing i'd be keen to get my hands on, something that can do 250g and use Gas to do it. Actually, no, i'd be keen to get my hands on whatever's available on the cheap!

I remember the 'toddler roaster' discussion. Maybe worth a trip to that part of town to see if they have any. I'd be willing to give it a try. Then again, a tin can on a spindle driven by a cordless drill or rotisserie motor over a barbecue is always an option. Methinks we are drifting into the roaster topics though and should probably take discussion over there...

Hi everybody. I've been baristering for 9 years now. I did my training by fire with Bar Merlo at the University of Queensland St. Lucia campus. After a year of 12 kilos a day I moved on. I go to a rostery every Monday night and roast my own blends and single origins. Need to know anything else? Just ask. Cheers.

UNM

Welcome jessemc. So barrister or barista??? I'm guessing the latter as barristers don't usually count kilos per day unless perhaps they focus on representing drug dealers. So what home equipment you got?

JesseMC

Hi UNM. You could say that I'm erring on the side of Barista... that is barist-erring :rofl:... hmm it worked in my head anyway. Home equipment will be forthcoming soon. My family own a market on the North Coast and want me to set up a coffee stall. So I'm hoping an I can convince them to buy me some home equipment at the same time as the business equipment. Cross fingers.

Hi, this is my first post on this forum. I have seen a lot of open and friendly posts here I will introduce myself briefly; I'm 21yrs old, studying biomedical science I've been living in Brisbane for almost 3 years I'm japanese Seems like espresso is a little bit behind back in my country so i found out that this forum is full of pros that are really helpful sharing their wisdom and knowledge! I started my journey in to coffee last year, but ended up buying a lever machine and DIYish KKTO. some ppl's names are familiar that I respect so I thought to join here. English is not my mother language, so please be easy on me 🙂

Hi shige, what lever did you buy? I've went for the 2 group PV lusso.

shige

If you want it Naked.. Then I can do it for you...

AM has done one of mine so far. A very nice job, and I might just get the other one done too. The spouts are near useless. The export is a nice little machine too. I was very tempted by one. 🙂

shige

Incredibly nice finish from the pics. AM has great skill with machining. I would love my export even more ^-^ The only reason I have to choose export was because of very limited space... and budget. If not , i would have had chosen 2grp lusso :thumb:

Welcome on board Wimmera. The name had my ears prick up as my childhood was spent growing up in Stawell and then after uni a 5yr stint in Horsham...... Let's just say the ocean is a little closer and a few more drops of rain happen down my way! Some great coffee brain trusts lurk here, so they will no doubt be able to accommodate your questions for sure! Jonty
