Coffee machine


Recommended Posts

Is anyone using a wifi plug / smart switch to control their machines (that take a while to warmup)?

Looking for options 

 

I use a Sonoff Pow R2(15A) device with a phone app.

It has a timer so switches on and off at set times and I can switch it on or off remotely.

I've been looking for one for my machine at the shop...

 

Nothing so far!

Yup, I don't know where you'll find one to handle that machine, I can't find one above 10amp max...

So did you take the plug off your machine then?

I was hoping for a female plug option.

But I've also got a POW2 on my pool pump.

Make a "pig tail" sonoff to female plug!

There are a ton of locally available ones running on the Tuya platform.

You can set schedules or just remotely turn it on/off using the app.

They generally cost around R300 - R500 each.

 

Most should work, I doubt the machine is going to be pulling more than 12 amps, but if it does then a Sonoff POW R2 will work fine being rated at 16 amp, it also has the benefit of having a built in power meter.

Just chop off the end of a multi-plug and attach it like that, that way the whole multi-plug can be automated and you can plug whatever you like into it.

I have a POW R2 on a short extension cable, I use it to monitor power consumption of various devices.

I have flashed mine with Tasmota to make it easier to integrate into my home automation platform.

Struggling with the search function, so apologies if this is a repeated question.

 

I need a service done on a Delonghi Primadonna machine in Pretoria. Any suggestions please?

I had to wait for stock from Italy, but it has finally arrived - Mara-X. Thanks for all the advice, coffee-hubbers ????

 

I only have a hand grinder, so I rushed out to get 250g of freshly ground beans from my local roaster. I even managed to make a decent espresso today. ????

 

Good sales experience from onlinecoffeshop.co.za Next step is a grinder

So, my grinder finally arrived from SA, so took the opportunity to sample some of James Hoffman's finest.

 

Maybe not the best idea to dial in a (very, very, very clean, cleaned for emigration) grinder with these beans, but its in the ballpark now, only minor tweaks needed.

 

Can highly recommend Square Mile's Sweetshop blend.
