V12man Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 So you reckon the F50 for R5k(excl vat) would be a better choice than the new E6 for R10k?Here is the F50 on the left. Capture.PNGI would ask your wife which one she likes the look of.... barrykm and Long Wheel Base 2
V12man Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Thanks.They giving it a service for me. I will pick it up on Tuesday.Beans, They(the company I am buying it from) do roast their own but what do you suggest?PingThe Nerd and pick up a bag of his - he will deliver it super fresh - nice middle of the road bean which you will enjoy as a starting point. Edit - what I meant to say but forgot... Stay away from dark oily beans with the Super Autos - you will just treble your servicing because they leave residue on the moving bits and it's a pain to clean off before things start sticking.

Frosty Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Ok you guys have twisted my arm. Have just sent them a mail saying I will take the F50.I replied in the question thread with two videos reviewing the machines. If you make large milk-based coffees, the milk spout isn’t height adjustable on the E6, so you made a good call on the F50. FDP, V12man and Long Wheel Base 3

I will pick it up on Tuesday.Beans, They(the company I am buying it from) do roast their own but what do you suggest?Try his coffee, ask for a medium roast. I travel that way once a month, otherwise I’d buy. I really need to visit our Jet Park office more often, as they are neighbours. I like my local roaster, who always has fresh beans available and I always get a little more than 250g. Long Wheel Base 1

We use his coffee at the office, I rather enjoy it. Long Wheel Base 1
the nerd Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Thanks for giving the recommendation Guy! We (The_Flippa) and I roast weekly, to order, so our beans are always as good as they can be. All our beans are traceable, and Specialty grade meaning scores of 81 and higher. Our blend we supply to Guy, is a South American blend thats pretty good with everything! We now also have a single origin Uganda which is proving to be a hit wherever it is served. Its a little more delicate but plays well with milk or without. I personally love it as an American or Cortado with Almond Milk. PM me and I am happy to drop off a sample for you! Long Wheel Base 1
