Hi All,
Have just taken delivery of a much loved La San Marco grinder, a Model SM-90A. It is one very significant presence as far as grinders go but after powder-coating to the same shade of Fire-Engine Red as the Bezzera some time in the future, Im sure itll look right at home. Rocky is almost dwarfed when sitting next to the LSM, only in stature though, not performance. Oh well, Rockys gonna be cleaned up and put up for grabs soon so if anyones interested, keep an eye out in the 4-Sale column in the next week or so.
Now all I got to do is learn how to tame the LSM into submission. I tell you what though, that doser is a real gem.... not a single grain of coffee is missed by the rotor arms, the base and sides of the doser are swept perfectly clean every time. Gonna have to make up a little probe cum sweeper tool to remove coffee from the grinders discharge chute but thats about the only thing that needs doing. Fun times ahead...
Cheers All,
Mal.

.... Youll be getting bored soon :
.... quite obviously the old burrs were a lot more worn than I thought. The resulting brews are much sweeter now, individual intrinsic flavours are very discernible and the coffee is just great right to the very last drop in the cup. Simply superb 8-).
with my retro LSM. Cheers all,
