    Thanks Martybean - that was the very first thing I tried, and - when that didnt work - I then tried programming the single and double pour buttons in the hopes that that would work: nada.

    Even Debbie at Sunbeam said that Id tried everything I could and that she thought it must have been the electrickery stuff...

    Hi Ho, hi ho, its off to service I go...

    Im still in mourning, even though I dont lose the machine until Friday - will it look silly if I pack it in the car and take it up to Narrabri with me for the three days: even a coffee machine deserves a little time away, dont you think???  
    Your dark but yet light since of humour is refreshing...

    I just trust that after the break, the the machine is actually happy to return... It may in fact crack a right good tanty, and refuse to speak and do nothing but sulk...

      Maybe a good rest in the country is what you both need.

        Ah, well, Ive returned home and Caffetina (as I call my travelling buddy, or Tina for short) is still happy with me for  the moment.  I took her on a nice excusion and showed her cattle, horses and some half dried up dams (she wasnt impressed with the dams - the water wasnt any where near filtered enough for her, poor little precious!!!)

        Unfortunately I didnt get a chance to use her in the end because I remembered, once Id arrived, that my Sister in Law was on bore water and there was no way I was going to do that to Tina!!!

        I was unfaithful to her while I was in The Bri, though, but only out of desparation.   :-[ We went into town yesterday and I dropped into the bakery on the main street because I knew they made coffees.  While the hubby was ordering our matchsticks and chocolate eclairs, I got in line to order a latte (behind about 3 other people) and decided to take the opportunity to watch how the two older women made the coffees.  After get one back from the front of the cue, I stepped straight out of line in disgust!  The steam wands were not cleaned between use and, even if I ignored that, it was the slopping the milk into the cups and then ladling on the 2/3 of a cup of ultra fluffy foam (and I mean, the sort of stuff that you make in your sink when youre doing your dishes sort of fluffy) on top that really did it for me!  >

        With that, I told hubby that I was doing a runner across the road to The Cafe across the road (literally their name) because Id seen their outdoor umbrellas with the name of  coffee supplier - one Id never heard before - and figured that if some coffee supplier was prepared to put their name on umbrellas outside the joint, they might have at least spent the time teaching the people a thing or two when they were setting up the gear for them.  Because we couldnt hang around (two children of our own + one neice in tow) I was also desperately hoping they did take away.

        Fortunately they actually made a great cup of coffee and certainly one Id recommend.  The young girl that served me obviously knew what she was doing, because she ground the beans once Id ordered, tamped it with an actual tamper and it had a nice dense foam to it and made it to the strength I liked. Ahhh.... my faith was restored somewhat in outback Australia, thank goodness!

        So Tina got her little break away from it all and got to meet some lovely Australian heffers.

        Unfortunately, I got home and shes still not doing her thing with the cutoff, so I might have to drop her off tomorrow - Ill see how strong Im feeling and whether I can do without her companionship right now...off to SB Coffee School on Saturday, so I might hang onto her until next week, so I can practise any new techniques I learn on Saturday.

        (This last paragraph is to justify posting all the preceding paragraphs, just so I cant be accused of hijacking my own thread )

          Great to catch up with the saga of your equipment... A nice read and your understanding of thread hijacking etc is outstanding...

          Let us know how it all goes...
