Oh and I didnt mention that it has 2 60amp 3 phase connections so I offered a contract to them to supply electricity from my power company that I work for. Their electrician asked what the ..... are you putting in here!

Well the were actually called Huey, Dewey and Louie.Originally posted by 47666D6D6A70030 link=1254481641/26#26 date=1266919881Oh please. Im surprised that by the end of that spiel they didnt tell you the name of each of those groups - Drivel, Hype, and Mumbo Jumbo. :POriginally posted by 4A7B607A79566064686E6C090 link=1254481641/25#25 date=1266919054They use 3 groups for single origin to prevent cross contamination.
To be Frank or George or even Fred it was still a great looking piece of machinery with the custom wooden handles.

Re: Extreem Machine...8 boilers, 6 Groups, 3 Steam Arms, 6 motors and Foot pedal steam wands!
Ok so I was there today at Proud Mary and admired this machine. it has 6 boilers for the groups and 2 steam. They use 3 groups for single origin to prevent cross contamination.
We spent some time here with Mitch (Ex Liar Liar) and had a great time.
Great Coffee. Good service. Great passion.

looks like something you need a dedicated power plant and water reservoir to run!

Largest ever? I have seen a photo of a six group Faema Nettuno, but its not on the net. Faema advertised it as being available with either a 50 litre boiler or two 25 litre ones.

Ill be sure to have a quiet word to my machine and tell it if it has any intention of breaking down, it needs to do so out of hours. Im sure shell oblige...LOL! ;DOriginally posted by 7A5645435E565B687A58595C524E370 link=1254481641/21#21 date=1257741328That is true but you can service the machine out of hours and still have most of the capacity of the machine until you close for the day.Originally posted by 33343E325D0 link=1254481641/17#17 date=1257734278Surely the power needs to be cut to the entire machine if a tech has to fiddle with one half?

Re: Extreem Machine...8 boilers, 6 Groups, 3 Steam Arms, 6 motors and Foot pedal steam wands!
are the paddles micro controlling the flow of the pump or not?
looking at this pic, 2 X 3 groups joined together? Middle steam wand just off the right boiler?

you can see the "join" in the 2nd pic
then it might be wired up so you can isolate one side (3grps) would make a lot of sense for the repair man

The beauty of machines like this is if one group/pump/steam boiler goes down then all the others are still operational.Originally posted by 4241545D545E5C585A54310 link=1254481641/14#14 date=1257680284And if one part breaks down 6 baristas stand around watching until its fixed.
Bad economics. Better to have two or three independent smaller machines.
Mike
And six baristas ;D three - four maybe - all working at peak capacity (that would be two on shots - three groups each, and two on milk)
