Coffee Machine Service in Brisbane

Hey there,

Been lurking for a while, thought Id post finally.

Im in need of some recommendations of coffee machine service technicians in Brisbane. Ive got a Gaggia Titanium machine which is in need of some love.

Can anyone recommend anyone? Id prefer someone who is available on Saturdays as its beyond impossible for me to drop a machine off weekdays. Someone mobile who comes to your house is a plus as well.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Muchas gracias

Mobile and with all the parts etc on a Saturday... You could be looking a many dollars.. Min call out fee then working on a machine that requires some special tools etc etc etc.

Would suggest there would be a couple of places in Brisy, but expect 10 day to 14 days TAT.

Even then depending on what they find... It will be about $70 to look.

As your Gaggia Titanium is an auto
I suggest you call Gilkatho in Milton
They deal with mostly auto machines

Im prepared to pay for the convenience and not being without a machine for too long... so no suggestions are off the wall

None that comes to mind as to Mobile and on a Saturday.. May be a CS out there, but none that I know..

If yours is two years old, it could be almost cheaper to go buy a new one at HN...

I agree KK, Wayne is a top contact.... However I am not sure if his teks are set up for all autos... If it is one of his, I am sure they would have all the tools / Service Kits and tricks of the trade at their finger tips.... If not, it may not be so simple...

Rasta - You could also try another sponsor.. QCMS - La Nuova Era as they cut their teeth on all sorts of equipment...

Your $$$ you call.

If your into Autos... Then Gilkatho would be a first choice... Most of us stay away from them for any number of reasons... They serve a purpose, but if you like playing and pushing the beans and the outcome... Then Manual all teh way.

Oh yes... manual is a comin... Auto was a stop gap for a few years...

Coffee is a creative art... auto cheats you of that...
