!!Reposting!! Izzo Alex Duetto II - work by Rick Bond. Not even unboxed.

[Mekanik]

Hi, due to circumstances I'm selling my 2012 Izzo Alex Duetto II.
This machine is photographed in Rick Bonds workshop (The coffee machinist) earlier this year.
Rick went over this machine from head to toe, replacing anything that wasn't spot on by his standards. And that's pretty high! A new PID is on the new parts list, plus he added a shot timer.

There is literally nothing to do and no guessing as to the condition of any part of this machine. Rick was happy for me to include his name in the add and would vouch for the work done.

The machine was not even unpackaged after receiving it from Rick.
It is ready to transport if necessary as it is very well boxed up and strapped to a small pallet.

It cost me $2948 and that's what I'm asking. This includes transport if necessary.

I'm in Brisbane.

Cheers
Chris

That's a very handsome machine. Does it take very long to heat up enough to make a coffee?

This gives a good run through of this model - https://www.bellabarista.co.uk/pdf/I...oserlookv4.pdf

Hi,
It never got unboxed so I simply don't know. The guide from CafeLotta should be accurate. Cheers

Heat up is relatively quick for E61 group due to this model having a higher thermo syphon flow.

Great machine, GLWS.

Cheers

Sorry if this is silly question, so it was brand new in 2012 and you have owned it since then but its never been used or taken out of the box ?

It was a machine Rick Bond owned then refurbished for me. He sent it from Melbourne to me - all boxed up. I never unboxed it. Now it’s for sale. Ok?

Hi Pitt22, You'd be better off asking an importer or retailer this question.

Some of this is covered in this review of the version IV - https://www.bellabarista.co.uk/pdf/I...er-look-v1.pdf

Also the Alex Duetto IV Plus version has some differences - https://www.bellabarista.co.uk/pdf/I...ual-Boiler.pdf

I came across this video when researching machines. Compares the Duetto II vs III

Looks like a few little refinements with basically same machine under the hood.

Hi chokkidog, thanks for your suggestion. I got the impression this machine was modified. After re reading I'll assume its only upgrade from factory is a shot timer.
