OK,
So I was going to be a good boy and wait until after Christmas before carefully evaluating 2 different machines, looking at their pros and cons, objectively judging how they handled different aspects of the coffee making process, what features each possesed and so on.
OR....
I could just buy the demo Minore II that Chris had for sale.
Can you guess which one happened?
So, my Silvia is now up for sale.
$500
I bought it new from Mocopan in Melbourne in August 2004.
Comes with all original accessories.
1 group handle
1 double basket
1 single basket
1 crappy plastic tamper
1 long scoop
Manual/cerificate
Box it came in
PLUS
Group seal kit (unopened) purchased new from Sienna Coffee.
http://www.siennacoffee.com.au/groupsealkit.htm
The machine has averaged about 4 coffees a day.
Gets a water backflush every week (since 2005 when I got the courage to do it!).
Shower screen removed and group, baskets cleaned regularly (monthly at most).
Detergent (espresso cleaner) backflush every month.
Some very minor marks in the SS finish in various places, but I think it still looks good.
Would prefer if buyer picks it up (Wheelers Hill - Melbourne), but will post it if required.
Specs state that it is 15kg with packaging.
Auspost website gives an approx cost of $30 for:
Regular Parcel
Registered
Additional insurance (extra $400)
Please PM me if you are interested.
The whole shebang.
And from another angle.
And from the side
And the bits included
The group
The shower screen - complete with marks on the screw where it was too tight!
