Hi, does anyone know where I can find a replacement glass jar for a Hario Skerton Plus manual coffee grinder?

Try Checkers. They have a knock off home brand version of the Hario for about R200 and it come with 2 jars if I recall correctly

Looking for some recommendations on an Espresso machine. Budget 20-25k.

Had a look at the Rancilio PID and the Lelit Mara, the Lelit looks much better on paper, but willing to consider other options.

Maybe look at a Gaggia Classic. I've got a 1976 and 1988 Baby Gaggia. And they both still work perfectly fine-including the MDF grinders. Recently got a Gaggia Anima Bean to Cup and it's just not the same.

I haave a Krups type880 espresso machine, but lost the filter basket. Anyone got ANY idea where I can find a replacement locally.

Drop a mail to admin@onlinecoffeeshop.co.za they helped me out a couple weeks back, 58mm should be easy to get.

I did order from them during the week and they state it's 58, but it's more a 61mm at the top for the double shot one.

UPDATE: I took a chance and ordered this little jar from TakeAlot and it fits perfectly! Not bad for a R43 fix. I am happy to be grinding again.

I love fixes like this.

Gooi another jar in for backup on your next takealot order and you'll be sorted for that next oops as well.

I was thinking exactly the same thing! Cheers!

We bought a house so I am finally able to plumb in my machine as we have designed our own kitchen. 
 

The first picture; what it looks like below the sink, second picture; the line supplied with the machine.
 

Anyone in the know of what else is needed? I assume I can run an adaptor so there is two lines off the cold tap. I will run an in-line water filter.

You should be able to get a T-adapter that fits in between the stopcock and the line to the cold tap. Should be 15mm/ 1/2 inch. Just check the line supplied with the machine is the same width

Any quick thoughts on the Jura E6 by the connoisseurs here - able to pick one up for a good price, and looking for a combination of good consistent coffee and convenience. Thanks.

I have an XF50 and I think the E6 is essentially a newer version. I looked at it when I bought mine. It is 1 touch as far as I can remember so you don't need to move the mug if doing drinks with milk in, whereas with mine I have to do the milk on the side and then move the mug to the center for the coffee. As far as bean to cup goes I am happy with my jura, it works as advertised. You are still able to do some adjusting like water temp, amount of water per shot and grams of beans it grinds so you can at least customize a little bit to a degree. I have also always had good service from the agents.
