    The courier delivered a PL62S today which is sitting next to my new Q50P. I ordered them as a package but the Lelit took a much slower journey from Melbourne. Thanks Paul

    I've sent him a couple of messages and his phone is going to voicemail. Has anyone seen or heard from him in the last few days?

    If there is anything Di Bartoli can assist with, please don't hesitate to PM us Tony.

    Cheers Ofra

    Neither. VBM Domobar Jnr. MacapM4D or have a look at the new Baratza. I think 2muchcoffeeman knows where you can get them, send him a pm.

    I havn't got a bottomless budget but I don't mind buying quality to get a top result, the pro 500 looks like the machine I keep coming back to and I have an older model K3 touch but will upgrade that if I need to but it has been a great grinder matched with the Breville DB

    Here here, Charlie totally agree. Let this be a warning as I learnt my lesson. Buy local the after sales support is impeccible

    True! We saw a pre production model that was a bit rough around the edges (and inside hadn't been sorted yet either!). Not saying you were sent one of those by an unscrupulous overseas vendor, but there's not much comeback when you spend your hard-earned on the other side of the globe as you've found out the hard way. Then there's the issue of 14,000km on 2 or 3 planes to factor in. Freight handlers and mid air turbulence? Well they're not going to result in a neater machine internally. And any review needs to be put into context, especially if there have been changes to the model along the way - for example going from using a pressurestat to digital temperature control. The Mara is easy to get into and the components are well laid out and easy to get to:

    No agenda, just a dis-satisfied user who upgraded. That said each to their own. I'm sure it is a great machine. You get what you pay for so I can't complain.


    Feel free to contact an ex-site sponsor if you'd like to talk to his experienced repairer.

    I mean when the control board went after 2months of usage, the comments from the repairers were less than complimentary about the state of the internals.
