I’m almost ashamed to admit it - Linea Mini.

I know, I know.

Ernie1 I’m almost ashamed to admit it - Linea Mini.

Friend of mine went from Niche/Synchronika Combo to Monolith Flat / Pimped up LMLM and doesn’t regret a single bit.

Do scratch your itch. Let us know how you get on!

Ernie1 Looking forward to seeing the itch scratched…

Cuprajake

yellow?

CoyoteOldMan

Cuprajake That sounds like a mid-life crisis, not an itch…

Ernie1

@MediumRoastSteam

Good to hear!

@CoyoteOldMan @Cuprajake 🤣

Fortunately it’s not that much of a crisis. Bought the last white one at BB.

Ernie1 Great. Look forward to photos and your first impressions. What’s next? Grinder, I assume!

LMSC

It’s actually the Super Jolly that inspired the LM and the thread about confirmation bias!

Even though it’s far from the ‘best’ grinder, I just enjoy using it and it looks great.

There’s a nostalgia to it too for me. Fond memories of East London coffee shops in the early 2010s where you’d see a a couple of Super Jollys and Linea on every counter.

I’d 100% keep the Bianca if money/space was no object as I know on paper its the better machine.

White is my second favourite colour so you’re ok

Hi Tom, as discussed in email, this is my account here so that you know. Have been trying to order a Nurri leva but not sure how long / whether i can sort it out. Good to get a Bianca for the time being. Let’s discuss in details in email. Thanks.

Knluk

Many thanks, a pleasure to deal with. I’m happy the machine is going to a good home.

@DavecUK please mark as sold.

CoyoteOldMan

Knluk Congratulations!

Knluk

CoyoteOldMan thanks mates. I saw your post on Nurri and BB. No wonder no news after exchanging several email with them. But I believe I will keep an eye on a leva.

DavecUK

Congrats…certainly sold quickly. Lovely machines.

LMSC

Knluk It’s a cracking deal! Congrats.

Gave the 10 or so people in the Post Office a bit of lunchtime entertainment…

Struggled in with the boxed up Bianca. “Can I send this on a next-day tracked service please”

“Yep, put it on the scales please”

Me: “It’s 29kg…”

“Don’t worry the scales will handle it”

Me: “Yes but I’m not sure I will”

Anyone who’s seen/lifted a packaged up Bianca will know how it must’ve looked with me lifting it to counter height and resting it on scales that must’ve been about 12×12”.

Knluk I couldn’t fit the Pulycaff I said I’d include in the box so I’ve ordered some to be delivered to you separately. The Molykote should be in there but won’t need lubricating for a month or so.

Knluk

Ernie1 thanks for that! This is my first non manual prosumer machine. I am sure it will keep me busy and OD with caffeine this weekend.

Hope my wife can handle the package as I won’t be home tomorrow. :)

DavecUK

Knluk You are going to have a great time.
