Re: What Coffee Equipment do you all have - Part 2

OK here come the beanz,
@ 15 years ago a wonderful drip-o-later....yes ok I know.
@ 10 years ago a no so wonderful (but slightly better coffee) Krups Novo Xpress (still going somewhere)
@ 4 years to about a month ago a Trevi Spiedem Automatica not so bad...but now dead

Now looking for something to sit on the bench to worship each morning.
We just got a 2nd hand Nemox lux grinder.
currently using a stove top

Hey Snooooze, dont be down in the mouth about using a stovetop mate. They must have something going for them as at last count Bialetti have sold over 250,000,000 of them.

Stovetop is my main brew, and on a cost/cup/taste basis it suits me fine, and will be even tastier when I get my grinder and start home roasting.

Welcome snooooze.

Congrats on the first post, but seeing as this is the "What do you have" section, how about spilling the beans?

Thanks Mal,
I think the God shot horizon is a long way off but itll be fun and probably frustrating getting there.
Cheers,
Ken.

Thanks TG,
Well it was too shiny to use...oops.
After a little experimenting with Rocky I actually made 2 good lattes.
This is going to be a lot of fun.

Ken.

Congratulations.

I agree. Too shiny to use.
Just sit there and look at it.
Very pretty.

Thats great to hear Ken. Jack is a great person to deal with and is a pretty straight shooter willing to call a spade a shovel.

At this level of machine, its all down to barista skills. I guess that gives you about a week before you have to show her off.

Cheers,

Mark.

Thanks Dennis,
That sheet has been in the family a long time ;D and can hide a dirty wall very well.

Congratulations Ken - looks like a great set up and I love the way you have framed the photos with the sheet (?)...do you happen to work for pixi photos or are you just a proud parent of this equipment?

Hello Everyone,
  Well after much frustration with my Bezzera Hobby I have moved on to a bigger toy.
I must thank Jack and Chris from Barazi for their efforts to get it right but in the end there was only one conclusion.
  Words like "lemon" and "not importing them anymore" from Jack show just how serious and passionate these guys are.
  Now the really good part.
I cannot stress enough the benefits of purchasing from a site sponsor and Barazi in particular.
I was immediately offered a full refund and a demo of any machine of theirs with no obligation to buy.Little did they know Id been lusting after a BZ02 for some time.I was hooked.
   Of course after all the pain the Hobby caused the deal Jack offered blew me away.
Now I sit here happily gazing at my new BZ02.It seems almost too shiny to use and get dirty.

Here are a couple of pics:
The beast:


With a few friends:


Cheers,
Ken.

Re: What Coffee Equipment do you all have - Part 2

From what Ive gathered from this site, as well as the coffee Ive tasted, Id suggest you stay away from the full-auto machines (If indeed this machine is a full-auto. The product info claims to "remove any guess work and with no fuss produce a quality serve of espresso with a consistent taste every time"...... Sounds pretty close to full-auto to me!). The most important reason for me is the coffee never tastes as good. Having said this Ive never had a cup of coffee from the EM8910, so my comments are purely speculative.

Its all in the grind anyway

Re: What Coffee Equipment do you all have - Part 3

Well, Im still trying to make up my mind. I thought I had it, when I went in to order my EM6910 today, and right next to it was the EM8910.

Has anybody got a view on that one ......... as if I should have to ask.
