LukeV-2 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 So does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to one of these hairo kettles? The cheapest I can find is R740.

LukeV-2 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Ive also been looking, really dont wanna spend that on a kettle that doesnt boil.... Haha, I was wondering how tough it would to make one out of something.
Dirty Sanchez Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 New baby..... installation tomorrow.....Updates please ☺ Brian Fantana and the nerd 2
Pieter1 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 So does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to one of these hairo kettles? The cheapest I can find is R740.Sorry but what makes it so expensive and what does it do?
V12man Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Updates please ☺OK - update - tech arrived before the plumber finished up and commissioned the machine using a couple of buckets as water source and drain - then the granite guys arrived to do some fixups on the countertop - then there was a leak in the drain, so the plumber arrived back today to fix what turned out to be an amazingly dumb piece of work - I will post a pic tomorrow - basically put the entrance for a drain below the drain pipe... he finally left at 3 today, (d..s arrived at 8:30) and I took the plastic off..... and made about 50 espressos to get the grinder in the ballpark - but it's going to take a while to settle down and get everything tuned - need to spend time with a scale to sort out the grinder timer settings and set up the volumetric programming - kind of a circular process.... I am not going to worry too much till we have about 10kg through the grinder - should take a week or 2..... Needless to say if you are in the Rosebank area, you are welcome to drop by if I am in the office. the nerd, Dirty Sanchez and Pieter1 3

brendank30 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Bought a DeLonghi a few years back and really enjoyed experimenting with different beans, steam and grind settings to get the perfect cup.My wife gave me a nesspresso machine for Christmas now I hardly ever use the DeLonghiPods are a bit more expensive per cup but the price of the machine makes up for it. Besides it’s a perfect cup everytime and I can change the coffee flavor with every cup.
brendank30 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Damn V12 Man. That's a crazy machine. Good luck with the setup. Where's your store? Edited July 22, 2014 by BFGK30
