Re: Antiques Roadshow
I can make out the letter NES and FEOriginally posted by The Goodies link=1174345137/0#3 date=1174350288If its got something to do with coffee and it has an interesting background, then why not.Originally posted by fatboy link=1174345137/0#2 date=1174348210Found this jar of something at the back of the cupboard.
Should we submit it to the roadshow?
Something about a number of beans in a cup.
The use by date was 8 years ago.
I think it may have once pretended to have something to do with coffee.
Should I have this insured?
Or should I call an exorcist?

Re: Antiques Roadshow
Cool one Luca, is this used at all or do you just keep it as a collectors piece, only pulled out every now and then to show off your variety in coffee making machines?Originally posted by luca link=1174345137/0#4 date=1174350901I bought this 1970s lever machine last year for next to nothing off ebay. Still works quite well, but the temperature is entirely unregulated.
Cheers,
Luca

Re: Antiques Roadshow
I use it a bit, but not all that often. It produces a cup with less body than a traditional machine, but seems to bring out more of the flavours that you get with French Press than espresso. Interesting. The element is controlled directly with the on/off switch, which means that you can use a thermometer in the boiler and systematically explore different brew temps pretty easily ... or you dont use one and take a shot in the dark. When I get some time, I have a replacement seal kit, but the 30 or 40 year old ones are holding up fine for the moment. This machine is a perfect candidate for a PID.Originally posted by The Goodies link=1174345137/0#7 date=1174362050Cool one Luca, is this used at all or do you just keep it as a collectors piece, only pulled out every now and then to show off your variety in coffee making machines?
