Thanks chaps.
Im used to getting a "roasting" on some of the 4WD fora I frequent because I drive Land/Range Rovers - so getting it here wont be any different.

My grinder is a DeLonghi KG100 - I was looking for something a bit better, e.g. a Solis Maestro Plus but the local agent for the Solis didnt reply to my email to advise if they were sold in Australia.
I found the KG100 was the same as the Solis Maestro/166 and it was available locally so I bought it. I didnt know the Rancilio Rocky wasnt that much more expensive than the KG100. Still the difference would have been frowned upon by the Minister for Finance.
Ive bought about 6kg of green beans and have done my first roasts - Im not happy with the results so I have lots to learn.
My wife thinks Ill be buying a new espresso machine before long so I will be interested in the reviews of the new Sunbeam TB beast. If the Estro Profimat didnt need plumbing Id consider one from Fresh_Coffee. Weve already installed a new kitchen so its too late to add more plumbing
