V12man Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 I was wondering if it was the conical or the flat burr versionI didn't know there were conicals available.... live and learn....
HappyMartin Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 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.

wacker Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 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!

cadenceblur Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 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.
Skylark Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 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.

Going to test water tomorrow in any event.Definitely need filters - but somehow I don't think a brita jug is good enough - rather use a speciality filter set for espresso.
cadenceblur Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 What do you use? Where does one get these filter sets. Would a place like Water Comfort be able to assist?  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
