    Hi Axel,

    Sorry I have not been on this forum for a long time, and just saw your message today.
    I bought the grinder on ebay from a guy named Steve in Melbourne, Australia in 2012 - I'm now in New Zealand and brought the machine over with me. I can send you his ebay details if you want to see if he has any more information.
    I would still love to see a manual if you know of one, or even just to know the specifications of the burrs so I can replace them - still using it for my coffee today, great machine!
    I'll send you an email too.
    Cheers,
    Ben

    So it is an "auto dose" machine , that fills the PF and then grinds to refill the doser section.?.. hence, you will always have grinds sitting in the dose chamber until you are ready to brew.
    Ideal for a commercial cafe, but not good for occasional domestic use .

    It is both large and heavy.

    Hermes Armellin (?) grinder?

    Hi folks,

    I picked up this grinder a while back, and was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of it at all - google is not so flash on equipment beyond a certain age - it seems it may have been produced by a now-defunct Swiss company. I'm hoping it is a re-badge of something or other so that parts may be available somehow...

    Seems to do a reasonable job paired with my equally cheap and run down Faema due

    Any ideas anyone?
