I have no idea why I haven't thought about that. 

 

Any recommendations? I've seen the Hario Mini-Slim at Cape Coffee for around R700. Maybe a little small for the Chemex if we go on trips away. 

 

I got a R400 one from Peacock - https://www.peacockteaandcoffee.co.za/product/accessories/coffee-accessories/coffee-grinders/gater-manual-coffee-grinder/

 

I've attached a cordless drill to mine...

Checkers carries those too at half the price. My dad is running one and has been pleasantly surprised. He has used a Hario too and can't tell a difference really, except for the slightly wonky knob for the grind arm.

My Oscar was blowing steam through the group head, after some reading and a decent amount of time and tools, I found i piece of metal probably from one of the parts in the 3 way solenoid.

 

Anyway this fixed that, but it's time the machine goes for a service. I ordered a service kit from partserve, but i don't think it's the same as supplied for the Oscar.

 

So now anyone know, from experience who's good a reliable i can get my machine serviced. Preferably in Cape Town area...

 

...my machine gets used 4-5 times a day, and i couldn't be too long without it.

Holy Roller from Grind n Gears (the nerd) is pretty awesome

Their Guatemala single origin is even better. Edited February 10, 2021 by Frosty

Try Kokdserve. They service mine. I'm sure they do Nuova Siminelli as well. There's also another coffee spot in the same industrial park that appear to be in the coffee machine business. Koldserve are based in Kuilsriver. Otherwise search for Alessandro Morrico he was the distributor.

Wolfgang in Woodstock is pretty good. He and his partner, Robert (who is based in Durbanville) run a business called xtractIT. DM me for contact details. Reasonable, quick, close and no issues with work.

I had my Oscar serviced at Rock & Roller coffee in Montague Gardens before I sold it. I think they are N S agents in CT.  Great service from Gerald would def recommend.

Also used him when I had mine, he no longer does servicing I believe.

Anyone aware of companies or people that service Gaggia home machines? Doesn’t seem to be a broadly supported brand here....

Thanks, I called them. They currently having a special on servicing machines. They've also given me a time of about  24-48 hours I'll be without machine. Just trying to get hold of RocknRolla and the place Trance Dance has recommended.

Just want to echo your sentiments. Gerald is a top guy.

 

Dropped my machine yesterday for a repair and service, machine was ready for collection today. Also gave some beans to try as well.

 

Highly recommend their service.

 

Thanks to you and the nerd for the recommendation.
