I am using a big no name basket that came with my bottomless PF. Holds 23 grams with ease. It's a keeper

I want one of these as I've always wanted to go naked. Has anyone anyone opinions on bakelite vs rubber handle. My inclination is to go for rubber (ooe err missus). If I'm mostly making one coffee at a time I assume the mini double spout would make more sense when going fully clothed?

I got the bakelite handle with my Cafelat, and I have a rubber goma handle on another PF. I personally prefer the feel of the rubber handle.
I got the mini double spouts and find them perfect for my needs. They actually give me a bit more clearance than I previously had which has been useful for the ACF tulip cups I use.
Taking the spouts off and putting them back on is very simple, but a cloth is sometimes required to protect from burny-ow-ows if the handle had been in warmup position for a bit.

No way. Very happy with the Double Boiler. Very consistent temperature and pressure, leaving the prime variable as the beans & the grind.Originally posted by Pauly404 View PostTime to get a new machine then

The programability is great. I find an extended pre infusion is very effective with most beans. Also, I've set the shot clock to volumetric, so get a consistent 60ml with
the double basket. I adjust the grind to get the pressure at 8 to 9 bars.
The result: consistently great coffee ☕

about to pull the trigger on a cafelat pf then realise the handle is bolted on, was hoping to get wooden handles on one of these
edit: noticed CS was the only aus distributor for the cafelat pf, so perhaps asking on this thread would be the best way to get an answer. When will the bakelite handle with mini double spouts be back in stock? thanks!Last edited by Avex; 4 December 2014, 04:32 AM.
