After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.

Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

Bench height

edited January 1970 in Espresso Machines
I had been using my custom bench for my lever and I continued to use it for Oscar.  It's just been kicked out the house into the garage sale pile because the new kitchen is much bigger in our new house, so I can put it on a regular kitchen bench.  I was totally shocked how used to having the machine up high I was.

I now have to bend down to check out the nakid pours! lol.  Maybe I can call it exercise!  :rofl:

Maybe when time permits and trolleys are made I could build a small stand for Oscar with a draw underneath.  Projects, projects!  Too many projects!  :tearhair:

  • I had a colleague who renovated her kitchen and specified 1100 bench heights.  Yep!  You read that correctly.  She argued with every tradie that being a tall person that's what she wanted.  Needless to say after hand-over it was only two weeks before she realised what a mistake that had been.  I told her that the average life of a kitchen is 15-20 years and offered to make and laminate her a count-down chart for her fridge.  That was the last time she spoke to me  :rofl:
  • Hahaha.  I get a sore back washing the dishes.  I wish that area was higher but a stand bench top height is fine for cooking.
  • I could be interested in buying your bench if you care to contact me.  Trevor.

    Dismantled and sold I'm afraid Trevor. It was fairly easy to make.  Just a kaboodle cupboard, sitting on a laminated base to get the height I wanted and then I just cut a bit of thick ply and mounted it on top.  Plenty of storage underneath for cup and equipment. :)
