Coffee machine

[the nerd]

Looks like a great way to burn yourself.... to me anyway....

 

When you used to a La Pavoni everything on that thing is hot... This is not so bad...

[the nerd]

Im thinking of selling my Cimbali domus single group machine. Its the only home machine La Cimbali ever made.

 

I have had a new pump installed and new seals done - working perfectly.

 

This is the same class as a Simonelli Oscar and Rancillio Silvia.

 

- 58mm portafilter (x2)

- 3 way solenoid valve (No Sneeze)

- 2 litre tank

- small footprint

- Very easy to use

 

I havent put it for sale anywhere just thought I would offer it up here for anyone interested in getting a start on home espresso machines with a decent machine.

 

Drop me a message if you interested.

 

Looks like this.

I can see why. It's purdy, and silent! Because of noise, I use my aeropress 9 times out of 10 over my Sylvia. But dammit, now I want a lever too!

Where did you buy it if I may ask?

[the nerd]

Ha ha I bought it from a hubber but I didn't know I was going to. I was buying an 18 tooth ss sprocket and this happened.

And single speeding is supposed to be cheaper!

 

Nice score.

So I can finally contribute in dis thread...long story short, I have a colleague that is migrating and he is selling most of his appliances so got this for the bargain price of 1500...and its hardly been used

Loving life...look I know its a breville and it might not have a good grinder or temp control, but when I use fresh beans, double basket...single wall(tried using the double wall, but its kuk), finest grind and tamp like a hydraulic press, I get a very lekker shot.

Whats wrong with an oscar?

[V12man]

Got no legs to stand on.....

[rouxtjie]

No pitchaaaaas???

will take some tonight, but well chuffed with this little purchase and considering the price...I couldnt really refuse even if its not considered a proper machine...

 

It took me about a week to work out what beans(http://www.stilcoffee.com/catalogue/coffee-blends/vintage-black-espresso), what grind setting(grind 12/15 ito finest being 15) and tamping pressure(as hard as I can and fill basket to the brim) to use. But now I can consistently get a awesome tasting, 24 sec shot. Oh and like I said the double walled is sommer kuk, never had any success with it.

 

I might play around with the grind course a bit more, but I am already at the top end ito fine but I did see a thread on another site where you can hotwire the thing to grind finer if it ever comes to that.
