Quick question - is it the grind on demand mdx or the one with the hopper?

It has a hopper. A very big machine. I use a scale and measure out an exact amount of beans and just chuck that in. It is fairly stable and has a stepless adjuster. I do tend to slowly make adjustments over time and even make quite accurate changes depending on humidity.

I may know of a gs3 for sale!

 

But my 2c why not go for a rotary pump e61 machine?

Expobar brewtus, izzo alex or the likes??

I have a San Remo Trevisio lx. Rotary pump, hx machine.

 

The La Marzoccos are beautiful and make great espresso, but they are spendy!

Honestly they ar

ok to all phoning me!

 

The gs3 is GONE!

 

After speaking to the guy who services my machine and also owns a GS3, he said the best bet is to contact Foodserv 011 616 5183.

 

Apparently they are the cheapest by a long way on La Marzocco locally!

Keen to hear "what" water you guys are using in your machines?

My machine came with water test kits but I've yet to use them. I've been using water filtered with a Brita, is that required for Cape Town water though?

Going to test water tomorrow in any event.

The bigger H2O intl filters produce really outstanding water, not sure what difference it makes with coffee though, I don't have one at the moment.

Definitely need filters - but somehow I don't think a brita jug is good enough - rather use a speciality filter set for espresso.

What do you use? Where does one get these filter sets. Would a place like Water Comfort be able to assist?
