Coffee mail order

I bet the place smells amazing.

Prefer the Mystery 13 to the 12.

Any idea how much longer they will be doing it for?

Dubman

Old-Dutch
Not sure. they just said it’s starting to run out so there working on 14.

Dubman

Just bought another kg of mystery 13 and he said the next time I buy from them it will be 14. So I’d grab 13 before runs out very soon.

Bought one of these …. the Rocket was starting to creak badly… incredible piece of kit

I’m not even sure if I could plug that in.

Dubman

You could buy ten of my coffee machines for one of those. Wow.

Jules72

Dubman Bella barista recommended it… can’t complain - the Rocket sounds like a cement mixer in comparison to the ECM’s purr. Germany engineering vs Italian

Built in Milan though so watch out for shrapnel!

Joking aside very nice. Does it have a synch button?

Dubman

Jules72
It does look well nice I must say. Mine sounds like an old boiler room from 70’s when it heats up.
Does the coffee taste any better from the new machine.

Old-Dutch

What grinder are you using Jules?

That machine looks the nuts

Jules72

Old-Dutch an old Eureka mignon which needs a good clean - would think a new grinder might help the taste because there’s load of stale coffee oils throughout the machine .. would probably buy one of these again no problem

Jules72

It does taste better but that could be something to do with not descaled my rocket ever (no idea)… the foam is also way smoother…

Old-Dutch

Cool - I’ve got my eye on a new single-doser the Solo which Bella Barista have just opened up pre-orders for. The Sage Smart Grinder Pro does a job, but think this will be much better. Can still sell the SGP for £150 or so, which is only £50 less than what I paid for it.

Jules72

Old-Dutch is the Solo what they recommend? Might buy one… a month ago there wasn’t much stock for grinders

Old-Dutch

It’s very new - flat burrs. I’ve been considering a Niche for a while now, but then this has just been released and comes in at £100 less than a Niche and without the months waiting on it.

Seems like it is the best bang for buck flat burr single dosing grinder on the market - virtually zero retention as you can pump the grinds through the chute with the bellows at the top.

Taking pre-orders at the moment and coming in at the end of the month. £400 - I want to see the pics of metallic black before I pull the trigger

I watched a video earlier of a guy reviewing coffee grinders that cost upto $3000 he also reviewed some that cost upto £50. He reckoned some we’re undrinkable.

Dan

Jules has failed to mention he runs a coffee shop.

Jules72

Dan nah the margins in selling coffee are tiny…. the only way they really make money is by selling food. And it’s bloody hard work.
