Any time, Wenzell! I'm just glad you've settled on something you're satisfied with. In any event, you've been on this forum a far shorter time than I, yet you've already nailed your setup. I, on the other hand, am still quibbling over ridiculous things like the taste difference between a flat burr grinder and a conical burr grinder.
ADHD & quick, pragmatic decisions don't mix too well.

hahaha yeah it was a quick choice because it was the only one that could fit. at a much better price point than i was anticipating as well!
well it is a long term investment so take as long as you need to be comfortable with your choice!

That's why I specified this forum and excluded grey imports and drop shipper units. Home barista has alot of American members and the espresso machine advice is often not translatable to the Australian machines.Originally posted by BalthazarG View PostNot on this forum I haven't, but I have come across a lot of them on Home Barista.
Buy an Australian specification machine from a sponsor and you will get a well set up Hx that doesn't require cooling flushes (which are really only required in the 110v market from what I've seen).
Still don't see how you can temp surf more than 4kg of thermal mass in the e61 group head but if anyone can the hb guys can. Complete waste of time imho.

HB is an excellent forum with a wealth of information. There are many topics and discussions that are not relevant, but that is the case with all forums.
Disseminating information can be hard for some.
I gave up on mainstream media years ago, but it seems many here still swear by it, and regularly post (and discuss) click-bait headlines.......

Thank you trentski, and very true.Originally posted by trentski View PostThat's why I specified this forum and excluded grey imports and drop shipper units. Home barista has alot of American members and the espresso machine advice is often not translatable to the Australian machines.

.
Hence why when an aspiring home barista contacts us for an advice mentioning 'I've done my research and this is what I came up with..', we firstly ask: 'which web site have you done your research on?' Often we find that people have shifted their focus away from xyz models / technology simply based on overseas reviews not applicable to Australian stock. I'm sure other sponsors will have similar experiences.

I agree, Bosco Lever. Despite all the impudent jabs I make re: HB's technical jargon, I've learned a lot from those folk, and have found them all extremely helpful and friendly when it comes to dispensing advice.Originally posted by Bosco_Lever View PostHB is an excellent forum with a wealth of information.
