Lol @ LAN coffee battles.

I'm keen!

Those Slayers are off the chain, a viable alternative to the undisputed champion Synesso Hydra 4 group

Those GS/3's are the shit.. La Marzocco are onto a winner with those, but 10k for a home setup is a bit extreme.. Then again, people run Synesso's and Mazzer Majors in their kitchen, plumbed in with external rotary pumps.. Overkill!

bloody hell 10k for a coffee machine! i like coffee but thats taking it to another level!

i recently upgraded my commercial machine to a san remo roma tcs 3 gruppi which is an awesome bit of kit. for home use i have a san remo treviso lx with rotary pump and a sr80 grinder which i will be honest makes a good coffee but nothing like its bigger blacker badder brother! i think overkill is in the eye of the beholder if you take something seriously and with passion nothing wrong with being carried away!

my roma tcs with dual sr50 grinders....on the fast boat from italy is two brand new fully electronic grinders, they will be the first two in the country, hopefully here by the end of the month (been on order two months, italians for ya!)

Picked up one of these little beauties.

Izzo Alex Duetto II.

The usual commercial spec gear on board.. rotary pump, PID, twin switched boilers (as opposed to heat exchanger), E61 group, stainless steel throughout, pressure gauges for each boiler, etc etc. I also like the fact that you can run it off mains water OR the built-in water tank, at the flick of a lever, which makes it versatile. It's designed for small coffee bar use, so up to 100 coffees a day or thereabouts.. should suit my needs nicely

I'll be keeping this one at Vastese Bakery, seeing as I'm going to be spending much of my time there from April onwards

Looking at plumbing it in eventually, with a 3M Water Softening unit used to prevent scale build-up in the boilers and improve the taste of the coffee of course!

Mine is still in the box, but here's one that someone prepared earlier







Also one of these..

Can't have a coffee machine without a grinder.. Mazzer Mini E Type A.

I got one of these, i put beans in the top, water on the side and push a button.

i finally got my new SR70's Electronics the other week, now these are balling. so many settings so many ways to get things wrong!

Where are you buying your Sanremo gear from? I've not seen it anywhere!
