what equipment are you using?

Kelsey

So Espressigo - that's gotta be a custom build.... except you imply there are others. Either way, I used to have a couple of Indigo's floating around, so I think it's awesome.

The espressigo was made by Silicon Graphics Germany. Not sure how many were sold, but it would have been over 100. They were popular at silicon graphics sales offices and at least half a dozen in silicon graphics head office. I have the original (german) marketing data sheet. An extract detailing technical specs follows: Besonderheiten 50hz gaggia CPU (coffee processing unit) 30ml primary kaffee-cache ca. 1.5l secondary Wasser-cache Regelung

That's a bit personal but seeing as we are here alone... no! I was shopping for a long knob and came up quite short. Fortunately the size of this baby is no relation to it's abilities!

I use a De'Longhi EC155 - Coffee machine with cappuccinator - It's the best I've had so far.

I can't see your gear because it says I don't have permission. I really want to see your awesome setup mate: http://www.bestcafes.com.au/forum/requests-for-admin-assistance/how-to-post-photos-in-crema-forum/

I am working on how to get that sorted out....

Kelsey

Just a problem with the URL. Here's the proper one: http://mini4fun.info/Espresso_Gear/Espresso_Gear.html#10

Oh, what's with the weight on the beans in the grinder?

Kelsey: Yes, that is it! So what did I do wrong? Stephen

I seem to get a better result with the electronic dosing feature with the weight. I am now tinkering with different weights and weight material. The weight you see in those photos is for sealing air from the coffee. It is a .004" O.A. difference between weight and tube I.D. Just trying to keep as much air away from the beans as practical.

The anchor text of first one looked right, but if you click on it, the actual URL in the browser showed started with http://ftp// The ftp// bit was causing problems so I stripped it out. You don't think air would be getting in from the grind path? Nice setup by the way. The GS3 looks smaller than I would've thought, quite kitchen friendly, at least in comparison to that monster grinder!

Thanks for resolving the FTP issue! Air from the grind path does indeed get into it and that is why I purge one dose in the mornings. It is packed so tightly behind the static screen air will not very easily flow up the discharge chute. Yeah, the Kony without a hopper is almost to the bottom of the upper cabinets. I have a shorter lexan tube that I am working on to reduce the visual impact on the kitchen. The versalab is much more kitchen friendly. If I ever get a lever machine I will need to build a new kitchen, one for me and one for my wife ;D

Kelsey

I think Lacehim is facing the same dilemma - I told him he should just proactively re-do the kitchen to ensure the Quickmill Achille is in pride of place.

If I converted this space for the wife she would end up with a larger kitchen with a barbque in the center (she would love that) and I could have the old one which is on the other side of that window. A win win!!

Kelsey

Very nice! Love that view!

Great view but the City and County have allowed so much development down the road(which is between the patio and the Inlet) that the traffic noise, pollution and dirt has made sitting out there not so pleasant. It sure is an interesting view! Photos to come.
