        a) Please remove that plastic shroud, and,

          I note that Mal was careful to stand to the side so his reflection doesnt appear on the SS panels. Cant even see anything in the reflection of the doser on the Macap.

          Damn thats a pretty combo. Love that grill on the drip tray

          I cant quite make out what that black thing with the handle is on the drip tray next to the group handle. A cup?

              Just wondering if you can take the stickers off of the machine, or do they have to stay on.

                Good morning!

                Mal,
                I am very grateful for the kind words. Thank you and I am glad you are enjoying your new kit.

                Kazmoses,
                Its better for the stickers to stay on particularly as the bottom one has the serial number (and some technical details) on it.

                I have seen a small number of machines over the years where the owners removed the stickers because they didnt like the look of them on the front, but the trouble is when they eventually come in for service it makes them look suspicious (we had 30 machines stolen in a robbery so we get touchy when we see one without an obvious serial number).

                Mind you the origin of the machine can still be determined because there are other numbers stamped internally. Its just that it takes us longer to work it out.

                If the owner did not like the the stickers on the front they would be better off trying to locate them to the underneath of the machine, but that involves not tearing the tickers up in trying to remove them.

                Suggest trying a heat gun to warm the glue of the sticker (shouldnt be a problem for a lot of CS people that use heat guns to roast coffee with ) to see if that gets it off easier and without tearing but for all I know, the stickers might be a kind of "tamper proof" item which is intended not to come off in one piece.

                    Check the CosmoreX website for a list of Diadema machines and specs. They are the Australian importers.
                    I would that Diadema is a brand name and the company that makes them is called something else (and probably make other brands of machines as well). A

                      Try http://www.bfcsrl.it/default.asp. BFC are the manufacturers and they are sold as many different brands (including diadema).

                        I think its a crime putting such a large ugly sticker on the front panel of such a beautiful machine.   Surely the technical info and serial number can go underneath or somewhere less conspicuous.

                        Some of those stickers are next to impossible to get off... The one on the group of my machine was starting to bother me (I know it gets hot and Im the only one that comes near it in our household. Everyone else is terrified of the machine and gives it a very wide berth. Not sure why?  : ). Once you fiddle with them you have to commit. Half came off, then the other half took some experimentation and a LONG time to remove. Most of my regular tricks such as WD-40 didnt do it.

                        PS. VERY nice machine Mal.   Had seriously considered that one but just a little too big for our bench. Even the smaller Giotto was pushing it.

                          Hello Buschy,

                          I know its off topic here but congrats are in order on your own new piece of kit

                          The "compliance sticker" on the front of our Diademas have never bothered me in the 10 years weve been importing them and I never look to the side of the machines with the sticker on (I work from the left). But thats not to say I wont bring it up with the factory. I never thought about it really, and in all this time weve only ever had maybe 5 people that felt so strongly about it that they took them off.

                          In any case Im going to ask the factory why they do it that way, and maybe ask them to put them on the bottom for the next consignment. Its all good feedback.

                          I understand the sticker on the group however probably needs to be there for purposes of liability even if it seems silly (remember the person that sued the "golden m" because they spilled a cup of coffee and there was no warning that it was hot? Talk about stating the obvious, how many of us buy a cuppa and expect it to be cool ;D ? ).

                          Regardz,
