Re: 4SALE Commercial San Marino 2 GRP

Thanks for the feedback guys. Sounds great! Im a poor uni student, so I dont mind doing a bit of a fixer-upper - its good for the soul anyway. But I do need to be able to draw from a bucket so its good that it does.

Whens good for you? I can come down Friday or Saturday, if either of those is convenient?

Cheers.

hmmmm look at all that stainless just begging to be mirrored up....

The sides would look great in metallic silver too! I can see it now..

Re: 4SALE Commercial San Marino 2 GRP

PUMP now makes an easy 9 bar (130psi) from a bucket, gave it a run this arvo and could wind it off my gauge 150psi+
i could fine adjust all up and down the scale, maybe just needed the clean of the adjuster?

so running from a tank is an option

I think your grinder was fantastic value for money - but I do think grinders are usually the most limiting parts of peoples setups.

Think we actually tried 3 pumps? ..but all worked perfectly for plumbing in and were a cinch to get to run @ 9 bar using the manometer.

Re: 4SALE Commercial San Marino 2 GRP

LOL thanks CH, you really dont like my RR45 grinder do you

Yeah its back in the shed but still up for sale. The Costa RDE was very nice to BTW we finished it off with some guests on Sunday who were suitably impressed.

As CH said the issue he had was it seems to need positive pressure (needs to be plumbed in etc) as we could not get enough pressure from the pumps to just use a bucket. He was intending not to plumb it in for now.

The pump adjuster was sticking but and I have cleaned it out but have not tried it on a bucket again. We actually tried 2 pumps on a bucket and neither would work off the bucket?

So take that into consideration and shoot me a PM to discuss. Would be one BIG step from an IKON ;D.

Your welcome to come demo.

Hi Hamish B and welcome to CoffeeSnobs,

I was the person interested in this, and without a major plumbing issue at our rented unit (cant be plumbed in ) my wife and I wouldve bitten Maheels hand off for it. I checked it out last week with a few shots of a Costa Rica Doka Estate single origin that offers quite a challenge on lesser machines. When paired with a decent grinder (or even an indecent one), itll be a fantastic purchase. The pipework and boiler are in excellent condition, and the few small cosmetic issues dont affect the shot. Its definitely worth the drive.

Re: 4SALE Commercial San Marino 2 GRP

Hi Leeham, I understand it all, been there, done that, doing it again, it just never stops.
Anyway , Im also contemplating selling my SM, nothing wrong but it is pretty large for a home machine, if it was a 2 grp compact Id probably hold on to it. I also wouldnt mind another project to work on.
Still havent decided, just thinking out aloud.

Re: 4SALE Commercial San Marino 2 GRP

Hey Leeham, its a pity you didnt get to start/finish this project. It actually looks in pretty good condition already.
So what is it you are working on at the moment?

Re: 4SALE Commercial San Marino 2 GRP

For anyone still watching at home
thought i would try the temp reading on the SM this arvo all just water, and not really measuring the volumes.

now much has been said about the SMs running hot and yes it needed a flush to make it fairly stable at 93ish.
Interestingly the 1st shot pulled after letting it sit for 1 min or so kicked off in the  high 80s but very quickly ramped to 93ish stabilized for a good few seconds then increased to 96-98. It would then come back down to +90ish. I was not measuring volume but just watching it "range" as the water flowed. To get what i thought would have been an OK temp shot i would have done a 5-10 sec flush then lock the GH and make the coffee.

I tried pulling 4 shots, but my grind ( to coarse) was out so they were fast pours. One was ok to drink. Pump also needs to be dialed in 100% sure its over 9bar......

You can see my mobile doser in the pic.

at rest after heat up 30 mins or so, GHeads were not fully heated in this pic they got hotter after lots of water. Not sure what they would come back to after time?
