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.

Upgradeitis takes another victim

    I'm wondering if he didn't just get himself a Rossa Portespresso.... Maybe the TR Version, eh? Oh and maybe the big bad boy... HG1

    good guesses, they all sound nice. funny both thinking pressure controlled machines and hand-grinders,  you know  me too well. not saying if they are right or wrong yet, need 3 remember.

    Spong and a french press, sell the S24 and stop worrying about pressure profiling?  Am I right? Most likely is a HG1 or Pharos.... my vote goes with a Pharos after Ol Grumpy's visit. ;)

    Nup, I reckon the S24 goes and there's a new machine coming.... Something that is variable temp and does preinfusion aand post shot pressure run-off to recreate the lever thing but without the fuss or restriction of a spring lever.  It's a Diadema Junior Extra PID!!

    Nah, I know he's been trying to get big G to part with his Pharos, with not much success.... Who can blame him, I won't sell mine...Eva... So... I reckon he's gone whole hog and hit up for a brand spanker.... Wait for it... This is Izzo envy right here.... The just landed in the country 'Izzo Alex Leva'....

    An Izzo Alex Leva... What have I missed and why??  The PID Pompeii was already uber-incredible for those that wanted to spend $5k o(not rrp)n a single group lever.  Someone better start a thread... I've got a lot of questions.  Is one of our sponsors importing these??  Come on... Cosmorex, Jet Black, fess up.... Pedro... Jeff??.... NEIL?? ? My opening line in he new thread may be, if I wanted a machine with multiple personality disorder I'd have crossed a Londium with a Thermomix... Pull the lever and out comes soup.  Now that's a category killer and the next big thing since the Breville Jaffle-Maker.  I need more info!!!  Secretly I reckon it might be cool... A double boiler with a lever.... More... Off to visit Dr Google

    the truck pulled up on Friday rang the doorbell that we did not hear because we were upstairs. at the same time a friend came by and yelled out,  I went down to the front yard and as we were chatting I noticed the truck had turned around and came back and looked at me and just kept going. Then I found a delivery attempt on my front door, I never thought it could get here so quickly otherwise I would have  stopped the truck. now I  must wait until Monday as they  have gone back to Brisbane with it.

    Saw the Alex Lever on Google.  Cool!!  I would love to see a shoot out between Alex, Strega, Londierm and Achilles.  Now that would be a pretty even race but I personally would be drawn to the PID double boiler Alex I reckon.  I do love Galumay's machine best if I was to have a lever.... Come on C-man... What is it???

    we have a winner! Lacy wins it and will be  the first to taste it. The big bad HG-one hand grinder...... 83mm TIN Mazzer burrs ordered Monday  and arrived from USA on Friday expensive  postage but fast. I always hated the fact there could be a  better grinder out there. C-
