    Decking? should be easy to find. https://www.google.com/search?q=plastic+decking+south+africa&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&ei=9RUbWcONDOqo8wfaioGgCw

    @home are the importers...

    Coffee does have the odd rock in it sometimes - most decent grinders it means just a simple burr change out for new ones at worst - I have had 2 rocks in about 20 years..... both times I just put in new burrs, although arguably on the one occasion it was not completely necessary. (bought the burrs before opening it... ) I suspect that for you this is not possible without the help of the local Breville service agents..... who they are I have no idea - try googling replacement burrs for your grinder and see if you can find some - ebay maybe?.

    Read this whole thread.... you will see opinions...

    On an e61 machine almost no difference - rather buy a grouphead temperature gauge - if you can navigate eric's rather basic page he is easy to deal with and reliable. http://users.rcn.com/erics/ This is the doc you want http://users.rcn.com/erics/DigThermAdptr7.pdf http://www.home-barista.com/tips/whats-best-way-to-use-erics-e61-thermometer-adaptor-t4545.html is a discussion on useage. Edit - the pieces are all available locally if you want to build up your own kit... finding a decent thermometer is problematic https://www.swagelok.com/SwagelokAfrica/southern-africa.html

    Please attach that to the wall properly - seen what happens when kids climb a bookshelf and it topples on to them.... not good.

    My opinion is that expobar has better support in SA... and that's an important criteria.
  8. V12man
    Yes- converting from 110 volt is not something you want to do - doable at a cost but not a good plan - you will struggle to sell it for anything near it's cost.

    She has been know to deal with a Robur E..... says my coffee machines need an Altar not a coffee bar...

    The monolith is doserless and has no hopper- designed for single dosing... but not in the wega price range https://www.kafatek.com/index.php/store/ for those interested in espresso geekery
  11. V12man
    You better add back consumables, power, milk, coffee etc... I agree there is a payback but it's not as quick as you think.... I fancy a new monolith grinder.... 2500usd plus shipping - call it 3000usd.... roughly 45000... do a 10 year payback on that and see where it gets you

    edit - I confused it with the bigger one - but its still a good small grinder. Original post...It's a nice grinder - big and competent... doesn't fit well under some kitchen cupboards... check dimensions before buying. I am not sure if you can get a small hopper for it - koldserve is probably the best source of that info locally.

    Is the installation reversible?

    I forgot to take pictures - but here is the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/302100362530

    Don't stress - 2 nights prior.... will be pretty clear by race day.

    MRI will show a stress fracture as well as any arthritic changes in the joint- if you are in pain so that it prevents running then that's a good start to find the issue or eliminate some potentials.

    Your might want to get some kidney function test done - now and again in4 weeks if the first test shows any degradation - your GP can draw the bloods or you could go straight to a lab - normally they have someone who can draw blood there.

    Follow the same protocol... you will be fine.
  19. V12man
    MIRACLE.... NOPE....
  20. V12man
    I got some new tools... a small bearing press set and a BB press set that fits pretty much all the press fit standards... and a shock bushing press set just for good measure.... will post pictures Monday...

    The importer of the aeropress posted a few pages earlier in the thread - ping him on how to sort yours out... On then subscription service - just make sure you are getting fresh roasted coffee... 2 weeks post roast... hard to do for subscription services in Sa given few roasters put roast dates on their packaging.... Definately give lineage a go...
  22. V12man
    Online Bean-there? they do roast date stamp their coffees - the date sticker is advanced by 1 year from the roast date.... They do have a subscription service - never tried that. https://www.beanthere.co.za/shop/subscriptions/bean-there-tribe/ or perhaps Lineage coffee if they are close to you http://www.lineagecoffee.com/
  23. V12man
    So - basically normal then.....
  24. V12man
    Huge issue for the town not having water - hope they are more competent than the average municipality these days - are they declaring it a disaster zone?
  25. V12man
    Cancelled because of a small rock garden... should have just made it an mtb race..
