After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.

Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

    Here is an update photo of my setup Keep in mind that the Strega is about 7 or 8 years old and still looking like new The Robur is a just over a month Custom PF and lever handles have served me well  :thumb:
    Love your Strega KK. It’s not stuck under cupboards anymore I see. Excellent!!

    Leroy You may be confusing my setup with another The Strega has always been in that position - Just the kitchen has had a makeover KK

    Ah right, I could’ve sworn you shared a YouTube clip on here a few years ago about the Strega that talked about placement in a small kitchen under cupboards. I must be getting it confused with something else.

    It all makes sense now Yes that video was from the showroom at Bezzera Australia,  the place I purchased the machine from My Strega was the first unit that was sent into the country for pre launch evaluation KK

    Ha! Well there you go. So I guess my memory was almost right.

    Nice score Brett. You guys have tempted me to consider an upgrade, but I have certain restrictions from the boss ladies. A new grinder must: - be as easy to use as the current M4D. - be doserless. (non-negotiable) - have minimal grind retention. I have spent a lot of effort teaching my household to use our current setup. Single dosing with only minute grind adjustments was the easiest concept for all to master, so the new grinder will have to be easy to use. On the plus side, with so many shops closing down, there might be a unit or two available in the near future.......
    I don’t think anything out there is much more fit for purpose than an M4D.  This will need some mods for ideal work in the home but.... I just had to own one.  It’s as simple as that.

    Here's my humble stable of the Compak K3 grinder and the Rancilio Silvia with Auber PID  :thumb:
    Not humble at all - that’s passion I can see on the bench :)

    Faatshank’s GS3. Nice pick up - very nice :) I love the wood but I’m more of a stealth guy myself. Here’s my latest gear. La Marzocco Linea Mini and ECM S64 Manual grinder.  0277eacb83e9f0f5f4964340305b3656.png

    just sold my rancilio epoca and picked up a verona la rocca expres e61 Not the newest machine on the market but it makes a cracker coffee with long slow pours no problem just ordered pesado coffee handle and replacement shower screen and seal currently running with a mazzer super jolly which although messy again makes for great coffee - also have a sunbeam cafe series coffee machine and grinder sitting on the bench for when I need coffee subito pronto!

    Just picked this up over the weekend. It’s amazing and frustrating at the same time! You nail a shot on a certain profile. Then think, hey I’ll try a different profile. Gusher!!!! Back to the drawing board. It’s like owning 20 machines and trying to jump between them! d139a734ef7ea0aaa069d3523049c7e1.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    here's what I've got on my bench at the moment: La Rocca Verona Expres Single Group, and a Fiorenzato Ducale Two Group, wired with a relay switch to run of 10 or 15 amp ! Both of which I use for my coffee catering, depending upon the size of the job ! Both E61 groups and I'm pretty happy with the quality of coffee they produce, with long, slow, and consistent shots not a problem!

    it's a compact two machine which I use for coffee catering - both machines are relatively unknown, and the la Rocca is actually Spanish and not Italian! but both make great coffer, which is the main thing !

    well i finally finished customising the la marzocco gs3. Moved away from timber and had some custom billet aluminium pieces made for it. The coffee machinist machined the side panels and were anodised in electric blue, and specht design made the new group cap, but i didnt like the look of the flat standard ones, so had it made to look like the strada AV group caps. Portafilter handles are from pesado. The only other thing i would like to do is change the feet to some taller S/S ones This one will now be a keeper, as cant see myself wanting or ever needing to upgrade for a long while 46418320775_0b2c1f98a6_b.jpg 46418321185_2b6b807b5f_b.jpg 46418321695_2c6ca369b2_b.jpg 46418321465_9d2500a48d_b.jpg
