    Re: Elektras New (but temporary) Home...

    After seeing Mythbusters do everything they could to get a hot water service to go bang and it was a heck of a bang when it did let go, Ive got a pretty healthy respect for any pressurised cylinder...but boy...what a mess that made of the machine!

    The Elektra that went BANG
    or what happens when the pressure relief valve doesnt work
    or anyone want to buy a few groupheads  
    Heres a thread dedicated to it: http://coffeesnobs.com.au/YaBB.pl?num=1284516145/0#0

    Hhhhmmmm....When was your machine manufactured SG?

    Cause of Sainsburys coffee machine explosion revealed

    "The environmental health officer (EHO), technical representatives from the machine supplier, independent forensic engineers and Sainsburys in-house engineering team have been investigating since Tuesday and have identified the cause of the problem," the spokeswoman said.

    "The supplier of the machines has confirmed that in 2009 a design amendment was made to the machine that could potentially allow this type of failure, and that the original design of equipment could not fail in the same way.
    Pre-2009 I hope!

    Oh dear... ;D

    Its ok, McCartan...I understand what you mean.

    When I first showed a picture of Elektra to the boss, his reaction was "thats ugly!"

    Changed his tune didnt he, when he saw it in the flesh.

    And so, he was busting his gut to get a coffee out of the machine today. ;D Yes, I made it for him.

    As of this afternoon, I can turn on Elektra whenever I want, she has her own power point now.  8-)

    Shes alive!!

    Today the boss man sorted the water out for me and once everything else was all quiet in the shop (ie...the pie heater had been switched off and I could plug into its 15amp powerpoint!) I got to light up Elektra.

    Not long after shed warmed up...pulled a very sweet shot of Espresso Wow.

    Getting a strong sense of deja vu looking at those photos.  I sympathise with those who wanted to get their paws on it...

    Coffee love is wanting to run your hands over such a beautiful piece of machinery.

    Coffee snobbery is knowing Scoota would smack you really, really hard with a group handle if you tried.

    Dennis...did you have this problem with customers touching the Elektra??
    My customers and I have a special relationship - I just need to look at them a certain way and they immediately take a step back and apologise. ;D
