Re: WTB: Cheap boiler Machine for Work (SYD)
I bought a Gaggia Classic in great condition off ebay for $160. Needed the obligatory clean (but even if it looked spotless I would have done that) and its performed faultlessly ever since (probably around 2 years now). Keep your eye out for one of those (or a Carezza - same machine but without a 3-way valve) they can go quite cheaply. I disagree that its impossible to get a decent boiler machine for $150. Gaggia on ebay is the way I would go.

Re: WTB: Cheap boiler Machine for Work (SYD)
Ill call you tomorrow.Originally posted by Huhness link=1220402308/20#25 date=1220487679Nah no way would they do that they have 6 cafes on site! Although anything is better than what we have now. (Instant.. Eww) I work in building F which is the ugliest and worst equip building of them all! Only reason we have the cafe roma is because we moved here a few months before everyone when it was still a building site (which it still looks like it is most of the time!) and there was no where for a coffee! IT people require coffee to function its in the manual!
Search Tim at OCSF1 thats dopey me.

Re: WTB: Cheap boiler Machine for Work (SYD)
Fair enough. Thanks anyway. But never said i was after a decent machine just something cheap and old that will sit on the bench waiting for daily abuse! (whether i agree with the abuse or not) which is why i wouldnt be willing to spend more that $150 on a basic machine with a boiler.

Re: WTB: Cheap boiler Machine for Work (SYD)
I am afraid you have set an impossible task......where on earth you are going to get something *decent* in your price bracket and or in good nik I dont know. The alternative is to buy a new sunbeam ristretto ( if they are still around they are in your price bracket new), but I for one would not be satisfied with the coffee produced.....
If you wish to see if we might have anything that IS a decent type of thing at a "nice" price, why not give me a call.....but please note it wont be in your stated price bracket. As someone else noted on page one of this thread, look at the relative costs that you save through using your own machine as compared to buying cuppas. The rest of the discussion about how badly staff treat coffee machines is *respectfully* irrelevant. If you want the coffee machine, you live with that and we all know it happens even in coffee businesses like mine ( I am ALWAYS after them to clean up after themselves argghhhhhhh!).
Again if you want to see what we might be able to do, please dont hesitate to call.
Regardz,
Attilio.

Re: WTB: Cheap boiler Machine for Work (SYD)
I thought I heard somewhere that OCMP were equipped with fully autos? Thats what some of my local colleagues said when they were complaining about not having a machine here and they were saying that OCMP had whizz bang machines etc... That wouldnt satisfy a snob but would at least take care of the vultures....

Re: WTB: Cheap boiler Machine for Work (SYD)
Yes I work in telco. It must be a standard floor layout and colour scheme for telco... You dont happen to work in Macquarie Park, do you?
I think people assume access to good coffee is their birthright... But in my office, youd think that because they had to put up with instant for the last year that when a half decent option arrives, they will be appreciative of the privilege. Just reaffirms my choice to keep my machine at my desk and PF hidden away.
