!!!SOLD!!! - Espresso Forge portable espresso machine for sale

[Otago]

I have for sale my Espresso Forge portable espresso machine.

This Forge is fitted with a pressure gauge and comes with an IMS competition shower screen, a precision double filter basket, single dose basket, and a blind filter for pre-heating. A Cafelat silicone group head seal is fitted.

Included is a SS tamper and an Orphan Espresso stainless steel dosing funnel. (OE funnel not shown in attached pics)

The pressure gauge allows for pressure profiling. Also included is a custom lightweight stand enabling viewing of extraction from the naked filter head.

Complete with spares including the original group head seal, a spare Cafelat silicone seal and four spare piston o-ring seals (haven't had to replace originals yet)

The EF uses 58mm components, allowing for experimentation; eg a competition filter basket, but this package comes with a precision basket already.

This is a version 1 which has the slightly shorter cylinder for those conscious of size for travel purposes.

There are extensive reviews of the EF on-line including one from fellow CSr samuellaw178 at: http://www.home-barista.com/espresso...ew-t37758.html

Reason for sale? Expecting delivery of the new, and much lighter, Cafflano Kompresso espresso machine for travel, and upgrading to a lever for home use.

$250 plus freight.

I'm interested... PM sent

@matth3wh Sorry to hijack but your PM inbox is full and can't accept any more messages. This will mean Otago's reply probably won't make it (and nor can the PM I'm trying to send you)

@gregpullman - Thanks Greg... doing some old PM message clean up now... should be all good to go again. My message to Otago should hopefully have gotten through. :-)
Saved all messages to text... then deleted all to get a clean slate. Inbox and Sent gone... surely all should be ready to go again :-)

Hi Otago... noticed in your pic you've changed the handle. How's your new one/mod fare?
Also how does the stand hold up against the downward pressure of the piston?

[Otago]

Wooden knob handle is comfortable. Piston thread is 6mm M so any T Handle etc may fit or could be readily modified.

Stand takes the pressure and high impact type nylon is safe for kitchen surfaces.

Espresso Forge is still for sale.

Seriously a very nice kit - an heirloom quality portable espresso maker. Super price as well! A stainless steel tamper, an IMS showerscreen, two Cafelat gaskets, OE dosing funnel, a custom stand, both the blind basket and single basket, mate, you're basically giving it away! This has the pressure gauge too.

The original handle on V1 Forge is indeed not very ergonomic (I noted it too and had modified it in the review). So really nothing much to miss there.

I'm offering money for it 🤣
