Who sells the Solis SL90 new in Oz? Preferably Sydney.

Gday pszillard

The importers for the Solis are Diamond C Services in Melbourne.

If you give them a ring they can probably point you to a retailer.

I am thinking that this might be a good choice for my friend who is looking for a semi-auto machine. If he also bought the unpressurized PF it would be really versatile, both for the unskilled (pressured PF) and for the enthusiast.

Re: Solis SL90 for sale

I sent it to your email address but Ill replicate the transmission to your address here.


Ron

Ah... checked and its there (expected a site message) :-[

OK it is on hold for you.

How would you like it sent? Will pack it very well and advise the total cost etc once packed and I get a quote on shipping.

Im sure you will get many years of good service (and great coffees) from the Solis

Ron, Yep it is still available. I Havent received your PM as yet.

P38arover.... does that refer to the "half a car - the  P76"? If so, we are of a similar "vintage"

I sent it to your email address but Ill replicate the transmission to your address here.

Yep, some claim that my model Range Rover (a P38A) is half as good as a P76.  

I counter claim that its the Lightning http://www.aviation-history.com/lockheed/p38.htm  version of all the Rovers.

They dont believe me.

Re: Solis SL90 for sale

Does the solis make 2 decent cups or is it better to make double shots with the solis? by any chance you remeber the pour time from your solis?

Yep, always made two cups (well almost always!) as I had to keep the "other half" happy :

Pour time was whatever you wanted... I normally ran at 25 seconds using the double basket.... for about 1/3 crema.

But you could make it as short as you want (yuck!!) or up to 40 seconds or more (if you have a good grinder).

Re: Solis SL90 for sale

If I call it 9kg from what post code will it be coming from?

I have to try and confirm all up expenses and then place a certain part of my body up for bond, should there be any changes to the agreement, she will expect her 16oz of of flesh....... (After 19 years she should trust me).

Hey, I ticked over 19 years as well (In April) so I know about the 1lb of flesh! (What do you think it took to get approval for the La Cimbali 2 group) - Im missing an arm and a leg! ;D

The Coffee Machine would be coming from 6054 (Bassendean - the home of Rolf Harris!)

And as I said in the PM - Bus Freight is also an option (and the goods sent that way are **VERY** well treated)

Good luck!

Re: Solis SL90 for sale

Still trying to get approval :-)

Would appear that I have yet to find the sweet spot of the $$$$$ Controller.

Re: Solis SL90 for sale

Dont get me wrong. Im seriously considering this machine.

I note that Choice gave it quite a low rating and relatively poor in coffe making quality.

Ron

Choice have some "interesting" comments on various items (not just coffee machines) from time to time....

I can assure you that it makes espresso on par with a silvia (lots of real crema) as long as you use the non pressurised baskets....

If you use the normally supplied baskets- you will get lots of "crema" from pretty much any coffee- even real stale supermarket coffee.... But the taste - well its "OK?" - but I wouldnt use them!!!

The unpressurised baskets require the correct grind and tamp - just like the silvia - and then the quality of espresso is also just like the silvia Its a pity that Solis never supplied these - you must buy them "after market" but no problem to get if you ever need to replace them.

When it comes to milk texturing - I dont think there is another single boiler domestic machine which can touch it.... mainly due to the steam switch activating the heater.... you get lots of dry steam - and , with a bit of practise- lots of very fine microfoam...... Great for latte art!


By the way, when using non pressurised baskets you need a good grinder - one that will grind for the silvia---- I had to replace mine. hence the La Cimbali Jnr (which is fantastic)!

Supermarket ground coffee is just not good enough either- so if you are not prepared to grind your own, I wouldnt advise you to buy the Solis :
