Hopefully they have stock so I can compare. If it's the real thing I'll definitely get some!

Christie Posted March 30, 2023 Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) I was at Stellenbosch square today. They feel heavy, like the other ones I have at home. I think my other set was about R300 per cup and R200 for a saucer - R175 for 6 is a steal. Edited March 30, 2023 by Christie

So  I pulled the tap in its entirety out and went to Partshub with it. Ended up being the gasket that the tap pushes against. Well I rebuilt the entire tap with new seals, and sommer replaced the shower screen, Porta filter gasket and got some cleaning chemicals for a bargain. Machine is serviced, cleaned, descaled, and gooiing steam at command again.  Die saak is weer reg hier in my huis. the nerd 1
Irvin85 Posted March 30, 2023 Posted March 30, 2023 I recently ordered some coffee from some new roastery up in Polokwane, I must say, they know what they are doing and their coffee is well priced. I used to order either Truth or Portland project for my bean to cup machine but I must say, these beans are way better especially the Ethiopia Medium Roast. give them a try, you won't be disappointed - https://www.bunbun.co.zaÂ
Fisan Posted March 30, 2023 Posted March 30, 2023 okay. So they look like they real deal, and 99% sure they are. But also pretty sure these are factory rejects (blemishes, not perfectly round, etc). Still worth it, but little stock avaialble at my store. 44 minutes ago, Christie said: Whitehouse cups marked down some more, R175 for 6. There are still some Acme left, some followed me home again. But check the bottom, Acme mixed with other brands on the shelves. Â Â the nerd and Meezo 2

BaGearA Posted April 2, 2023 Posted April 2, 2023 I'll be taking some leave soon and wanted to see if i can attend a basic barista course in that time.  I want to be able to make some basic coffee, honestly a single or double cappuccino and I'll be satisfied....none of this latte art is necessary  Does someone know of a place in PTA that offers courses like this ?Â
