hi guys just joined up because i'm becoming a coffee nerd after tasting some fine cups made by my coffee lover girlfriend 2 years ago. Used to drink long blacks with 2 sugars because of the bitterness....so I never gotten into coffees. didnt know a perfectly balanced coffee would have so much flavor and natural sweetness just like a glass of fine red wine (been a wine lover my self). smell, tannins, body etc... I have changed into a sugar less long black man 🙂 hope i'll gain more knowledge into coffee making here.

Evening all. Part Aussie part Pom here. Born in Aus, grew up in the UK, and been back here 12 years or so. Have moved about a bit in my years here. Started in Melbourne, then went to Cairns, now in Darwin. I used to be at the green place under a different name but got fed up with it and haven't been there for a couple of years. I started my coffee infatuation small with an ex cafe rancilio 26 (I think) 2 group machine, but passed that on to a friend when I moved out of Cairns. I also handed on the roasting setup to the same guy. I then picked up a Bezzera Family lever machine from the 60s or 70s that I found in the UK for silly money and imported that back into Australia. Photos to come in the lever gallery thread. I kind of fell out of love with the whole coffee roasting/ making process when I moved to Darwin. It's not much hotter than Cairns but it's enough to stop me wanting a sit first thing in the morning. However autumn is approaching and there have been a few days when I have recently fancied a coffee in the morning. Roasters up here are few and far between so I need to build up my roasting kit again. I have the bread maker and heat gun organised but need to sort out cooling and temperature reading so I can make sure I am roasting consistently. Anyway after thinking a few of you had written essays I seem to have done the same. So I shall see you in the forums. By the way should tapatalk have an icon for this forum on android? Only it doesn't seem to, to me. All I get is the text when I create a shortcut for this place on my android homepage.

Hi Eggbert, welcome to Crema! The KKTO is probably a little more common here than the corretto, but I'm sure there are more than a few that could help out with any questions you might have. I personally use the food-safe Bunnings bucket with an exhaust fan crammed into it and a metal sieve as my cooling bin. Not sure about the Tapatalk for Android - I don't have an Android phone to test on. Works fine on an iPhone, but I'll give a test when I have a moment.

Welcome eggbert Melbourne is currently giving Darwin a Run for the money in the "too hot to roast" stakes. 30 days at 30+ since the new year making it very hard to roast at midnight when its 31 degrees and stuffy humidity. Roasting in the hot weather is like going to the dentist - not something you look forward to.

Hi All, I can't believe I only just found this forum. Some of you might recognize my username from CS. I noticed the Londinium forum is much much larger then the other site so hopefully that indicates an lively forum. HTB P.S Mods: Perhaps the password restrictions can be relaxed a bit. I know coffee is pretty important but it's not like internet banking.

Thank you, Admin for such a warm welcome! My name is Finn and I'm coffee lover. That's the major reason why I joined this forum. I hope we, the coffee drinkers have a gala time here by sharing our experiences and feelings with each other. Thanks & Regards, Finn Felton

Welcome HTB, As KK mentions, we get a lot of spammers trying to gain entry. It's easier to head them off at the pass. Anyway, looking forward to your posts! K

Hi everyone, yep new here, but have been a silent observer a few times. Used to own a cafe about 14 years ago, love coffee, love good beans. Owned a Baby Gaggia awhile back, then last two years a Sunbeam em6910. It was a faithful little beast, with no problems at all. Own a Mazzer mini and LOVE it. As I have just sold the 6910, been busy the last week researching the next new baby. Think I've settled on the Nuova Simonelli Musica and about to lock the sale in. Hoping it brings me double the years of happy, fault free brewing.

Hi and welcome to the Crema forum Kazbah May you have rich coffee flowing when you get the new machine KK

Welcome Kazbah, They are a pretty funky looking machine. Are you getting the one with the lights or without? From memory they similar to the Oscar inside, but with a nicer look outside, and an antivac which makes life easier. Post up a piccy when you get it, in the Espresso machines section. Everyone here loves photos! 😉 Enjoy the forum and don't be afraid to post. 🙂
