Good deal!

Got my cimbali producing some decent shots now, it’s a bit of a roadkill machine but it’s rocking!

Chris King used to have them listed on their site...

My advice, buy the right grinder first... These off brand ones can work, and do work dont get me wrong. However a good Mazzer or mahlkonig will last a lifetime and will always have support. 2nd hand Mazzer super jollys can be had for around R10k! *Edit The other thing, those soft adjusty buttons on the top, they'll be destroyed in no time in a busy cafe.

Too much? Addicted? Maybe...

So an update on my Chain Lube question: I went with Bel Ray So far so good, doesnt fling all over and stays put on the chain!

What chain lube are you all using? Ive just finished my can of lIqui Moly but I wasnt stoked on it, looking for something else!

Silvia. Every time. Haven’t owned both but have owned many machines. I have used both though. The Silvia is easily better in every way. The other option is an Oscar. The Silvia compares well with an Oscar.

Little vintage Edox Hydrostar Manual Wind... Tritium Dial!

Happy to send some green beans for you to try... PM me... Roasted a bunch in a popcorn popper, modded to allow the fan to remain on but the element turned off etc... I also have a 2nd popcorn popper if you keen, its the one all the sites recommend (Westbend, the poppery)

Had been using my car the passed week, back on the bike today and its awesome! I love my Versys but if i had to buy again I might go for something with a bit more go... The Vstroms perform really well!

39.5

“Vintage” chronos really do it for me, 39mm and super comfortable! The swing of the Valjoux 7750 makes you know it’s alive!

Anyone keen on a Gaggia Baby ClassD? Looks like the below internet pic...

Very cool! The case was made by Dennison who made cases in a time when manufacturers didnt make their own! Elgin made stunning movements and some of the most robust! Value wise it varies, depending on the caliber and the condition. Unfortunately in SA the prices for classic watches is pretty low! Great piece either way.

Nice little Jura for sale. I’m not associated with the seller just thought I’d share! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/322067905405847/

If you have ever tried on a Breitling with the "super engineer bracelet" its ridiculous!

I just wish I had time to ride still...

What happens if you only have a single speed?

So we heading down to durbs 27th,28th,29th June... Anyone down there wanting some coffee let me know and we can bring some down!

button not a switch... The new ones...

I'd be keen...

Oh boy, not again....

I think it is.. better than the one that starts with a G
