!!!WITHDRAWN!!! - 2 grinders and 2 machines for sale

[Hildy]

What group handles is the Brasilia compatible with?

Wow, these are definitely bargain prices, if you are looking for decent pre-loved coffee equipment, I suggest you grab these.

Disclaimer, I don't know quickling, my comments are based on the descriptions and prices asked.

You can get the shims for the grinder off eBay for $1.

That Gaggia is a steal at that price, BTW. It would make an excellent starter kit with the sunbeam grinder.

Everything is pickup only in Marrickville NSW.

Noooooooooooo!!!!!

If you reconsider and are willing to post the Gaggia to Melbourne, I could probably scrounge together the cash for it

Merry Xmas everyone. After the usual upgrades I have ended up with 4 machines and 3 grinders, my wife is not happy. I hope I have priced everything to sell. Everything is pickup only in Marrickville NSW. Pics of all items are here: Coffee things to sell - a set on Flickr

Grinders

Sunbeam Em0450 ($35)
Bought new in December 2011 to pair with the two coffee machines. Unfortunately it could never grind fine enough and Sunbeam did not send out shims as they promised.

Faema Silver A6 commercial grinder ($110)
This would make a good dalek. Ugly with lots of cosmetics chips in the paint. No hopper. It has been used with no grind collar locking pin and does not come with one. I cleaned the burrs (64mm, my measurement) by soaking them in Cafetto, but they are not that sharp any more. I think it will cost about $60 to replace via coffeeparts.

Espresso machines

These two machines were used concurrently, the classic for steaming and the lady for shots.

Gaggia Classic ($110)
Shiny! Some scratches, interior looks good except for the bit below steam wand. Has been upgraded with the Rancilio steam wand. Steam knob is loose and probably needs to be replaced, there may be a possible leak due to this as well, or maybe the gasket just needs to be replaced. Comes with portafilter and basket.

Brasilia Lady ($150)
Makes superb espressos but is ugly, paint is chipping off to expose the metal exterior. Why not pair this with the Faema to make the ultimate kitchen statement. Supposedly bigger boiler than the Silvia, but I could not find the documentation. The steam is VERY annoying, as you appear to need to hold the button down to activate the boiler for steaming.
