!! WITHDRAWN !! La Scala Carmen and Accessories

[Ray_C]

My family situation has changed somewhat and therefore so has my plans for coffee vending, so reluctantly I am going to part with my somewhat extreme machine along with heaps of accessories including 1 flat s/s and one convex s/s tampers, assorted s/s jugs, 5 group handles 2 doubles, 1 single, 1 blind and 1 naked. Large assortment of latte glasses, cups, tea pots, syrups, sugar sachet stands etc....

Also included is the Gino Rossi Automatic grinder.

The espresso machine is in awesome condition, I have the original books etc... all in italian so a little hard for me to interpret. It is programmable volumetric, E61 group with screw less shower screens, piston infusion, gauges and spare screens and group seals.

I thought that I would offer it up here first to be faithful to coffee snobs... let me know what you all think, I have $2,500 on it and will post at your cost........ Ray.

Re: La Scala Carmen and Accessories

I will take 2 grand for it but no less, I may even replace the boiler elements from 15 to 10 amp and build a trolley for it and use it at home, I dont really want to sell it, its worth 6 grand for the espresso machine alone. I can put you in touch with the australian distributer for service, parts or just questions you may have. Pedro at coffee parts.com has all the necessary replacement parts as well.

Re: La Scala Carmen and Accessories

very very nice ...
if only it were smaller and could fit in my kitchen
so, does the machine require 15amp power ?

Re: La Scala Carmen and Accessories

Yes it does, but can be converted to 10 amp........ Ray.

Its not all that big mate, its 750 long, 550 deep and 600 high....... but packs a punch, will pull continuous perfect shots for ever and a day, no temp surfing or fluctuating at all.

In fact Im fairly convinced that I should keep it.

I guess that means that it doesnt matter if I dont sell it. [smiley=beer.gif]

Re: La Scala Carmen and Accessories

The other thing is that you also need room for the monstrous Gino Rossi grinder.....

Re: La Scala Carmen and Accessories

where are you? (pls be in Vic....)

Re: La Scala Carmen and Accessories

I would just love to be able to say to you that I am in Melbourne but alas I must inform you that I am in Bundaberg Qld 4670, the weight is 65 kgs for the espresso machine and I would guess another 5 kgs for the grinder then another 10 kgs for all of the other stuff that goes with it and then the crate that I would need to build for it to be shipped might be another 5 or so kgs.

A few phone calls would satisfy your curiosity about shipping costs and then you would want to consider insurance on that as well... I hope this helps you............ Ray.
