!!!SOLD!!! - Portaspresso PG Air and Rosco Grinder for sale

[AntC1946]

For sale:


A Portaspresso system comprising:


1 x Rosco Hand Grinder;
1 x Rossa PG Brass Air Espresso Kit; and
1 x Extra Naked Filter Head c/w 14g Filter Basket.




The items are in good condition, have not been dropped or bashed or dented in any way. The outer surfaces do show that they have been used (not so shiny) but all work well.


Reason for Sale. I purchased the units some 12 months ago but unfortunately I have found them increasingly difficult to use due to arthritis in my hands. Sue kindly drove the grinder for a while but in the end I decided to reluctantly part with the system.


You can find full details and capabilities of the Portaspresso system on the Portaspresso Website.


Briefly :


The Rosco grinder comes with:


a screw-in plastic cup; and
Instruction Manual (PDF)


The grinder has a 38mm conical burr set. Fine repeatable grind settings are possible - adjustments as little as 0.01mm are easily achieved and the grinder has a range from Turkish to Plunger. When used with the naked filter head, the grinder grinds directly into the basket - ready for tamping. If not grinding for the PP system then the screw-in cup can be used to collect the ground coffee for transfer to the required portafilter.


The Rossa PG Brass Air Espresso Kit comprises:

Main body,
Air Cylinder,
Cylinder Filling Adaptor,
Pressure Gauge,
Filter Basket 14g,
Naked Filter Head,
Tamper,
Rossa Multi-Purpose Base, and
Instruction Manual (PDF).


Using the Rossa PG the operator can control brew temperature and extraction pressure. The pressure gauge allows you to experiment with pressure profiling. The Air Cylinder is filled using a hand pump (or small electric pump).


The second (spare) 14g Filter Basket and Naked Filter Head can reduce the time it takes to make 2 coffees in a session.


In addition I will include 1 x hand pump to charge the air cylinder.

************************************************** ***************************


The total price for the components new is $1130 :


Rosso - $450
Rossa - $595
Naked filter head / basket - $85



This bundle is for sale at $650 (Postage will be extra at cost if required).

So tempted by the Rossa PG. I already have the Rosco grinder and it is one of the best coffee purchases I have made - love it.

Hi all, I have enough replies for now so there is a queue while I discuss with people!!

I made a coffee with the Portaspresso this morning (very tasty) and this reminded me of something that I would like to say before anyone buys it.

Please note that this PG Brass Air does bubble a little when the main body is filled with water and the air cylinder attached. I have regularly cleaned the valve in the air cylinder to limit the amount of bubbling. This is a simple process and instructions from the manufacturer on how to do this will be supplied. It is important to note that this does not impact on the quality of espresso produced.

I also purchased from the manufacturer an acetate version of the brass "valve" in the air cylinder. This valve does not leak air but the action is slow. It will be included in the sale.

The postage for the system, via Australia Post, to any State will be $30. This postage covers Express Mail with delivery to main towns said to be overnight.
