    Re: confused Newbie on the loose

    Excellent stuff Mongoose.... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    The fun does indeed start now - be prepared to become obsessed, addicted, enthralled with just how good a cup of coffee can be... 8-)

    All the best,
    Mal.

          The Giotto is a sexy machine.
          Indeed it is. I find myself staring at it - just like the bloke in his y-fronts in the Colourbond Roof ad on tv.

          Am I allowed to use it as a shaving mirror?

                  There is a great place just north of Marybrough.. Situated right alongside a service station.. Note: I think caffeine mechanic may even work there

                  Worth dropping in...

                    If youre up that way Id definitely have a chat to Roger from Supreme roasters as hes not too far away.  He recently helped me out with a new little giotto and mazzer combo.

                        Thank you Dave for the recommendation. Love the fact that your finding success with the Giotto and Mazzer. Looking forward to our phone training session in leu of a trip to Canberra or vice versa. ;D

                        Sue the Gold Coast is only another 30 minutes away so you could make it a day trip.. coffee, beach and shopping. ;D

                          I know of a certain Hervey Bay couple who should be very happy right now on their return home.

                            OOH yeah!!! I have been SO busy on my return, have not had time to get back on board the coffee snobs until now. SO... the verdict?... We went to see Roger @ Supreme Roasters @ Yatala and walked out the door with a Bezzera Galatea Domus and a K3 grinder. this was after 2& 1/2 hours of chat and learn time with Roger. Its really amusing, because I had written the Galatea off as not on my list I thought it was too weird looking! As with all the advice here and on other forums... you gotta go and try and see. Hervey Bay is a long way from most of the sponsors here, so I thought I was never going to get there. The staff @ Lillianas Cafe here in HB (They have various varieties of beans and do their own roasting) have been a great help too. As was Chris from Coffee Talk when I rang to fire some Qs at him. Bruce and I discovered it is even pleasant to have coffee without sugar if you get the right grind/tamp/beans/pour etc! Now we have it set on timer and wake up to coffee time. YAY! even my son who has his golden bean is a tad jealous.

                              Never got to see one in the flesh, but I think I understand how you could have been swayed. The retro look of the Domus is eye-catching on a laptop screen, and would no doubt make a wonderful centrepiece in any kitchen.

                              Congratulations and happy bonding.

                                I never thought much of it visually either until I saw one in the flesh at Coffee Craft recently. Absolutely gorgeous and wonderful finish on it.
