Brisbane BeanBay Pickup Point - March

Re: Brisbane BeanBay Pickup Point - March

Dennis, that is correct. However the instructions only list this step when starting the machine up for the very first time. Meaning, when the boiler is empty, well, full of air. But since the boiler is a closed system it will still be full once you shut the machine off after operation. So there is no need to fill up the boiler once you turn it on again the next time. At least thats what I believe and have observed so far. Feel free to correct me if Im wrong, but for the past 3-4 months that the X10 switch has been installed its been working like a charm. The only thing Im worried about, is the machine is switching off while Im making a coffee. If I happen to do so at precisely 11pm, that is.

Re: Brisbane BeanBay Pickup Point - March

Hi Daniel - if Ive read the instructions on the Giotto correctly, the steam valve should be opened prior to turning on the machine. I guess this has something to do with allowing the boiler to fill correctly.

How do you overcome this with your setup? Is this an issue?

Re: Brisbane BeanBay Pickup Point - March

This wasmy first BeanBay and I just wanted to thank Belinda again for hosting it as well as the coffee and beer. Next time I have to try the Espresso-flavoured beer though.

And for those that want to know more about my X10 modded Giotto (able to switch on remotely via web/mobile phone)....http://www.coffeegeek.com/forums/esp...achines/265294

See you all next month.

Re: Brisbane BeanBay Pickup Point - March

Thanks to Belinda for opening her house and holding the beans for us, Cameron for shipping them here and Andy for having a great selection of beans to choose from.

Sorry i had to pick and run, had a few cat problems, if we only could teach our cat to roast beans instead of fighting the world (around here ) would be a better place, though the vet would be a few $$$$$ short.

Andy sent out an email on the 5th. If you missed it somehow you should PM him to resend it to you.

Re: Brisbane BeanBay Pickup Point - March


Sorry to hear you cant make it Cameron.

I was looking forward to playing with the Presso again.

Oh well, next time.

BTW whats rain? I cant quite remember what what word means.


The beans have landed safely in Brisbane and shall be placed upon the Beanbay Bed.

Re: Brisbane BeanBay Pickup Point - March

Can you take kegs as carry on baggage? Id be willing to act as a mule!

On a more serious note:

I wont be able to make the pickup on Saturday, major agricultural remediation happening in the middle of what looks like devastating rain deluge(sorry everyone in drought) fo rthe rest of the week.

Im sending number two PRESSO enthusiast Gabriel who will take delivery of as many bags of green been as he can put in his hatchback(maybe we should get a new 10kg bag size Andy?). He will be on his best behaviour, he is quite a busy young chap so he will probably be in and out before you know what has hit.

My sincere apologies to all at the Bribane pick up. Thanks in advance to Belinda.

See you next month!

Re: Brisbane BeanBay Pickup Point - March

Hi Zakal

Not much to it really. You just come around between the given times on Saturday and collect your beans. You can stay for a chat and a coffee, or not

Andy will send out an email in a day or so with the address to all who are picking beans up.

Last time a big group got there about midday and had a coffee or 2 and a chat. (see Feb pickup thread).
