dfk41 For sale is my son’s Minima. It is the black version, including a black drip tray and a brand new, unwrapped stainless steel one. Paolo very kindly swapped the vibe pump for a quieter model. My sons coffee habit was about a dozen shots a week but over the past few months that has dropped away to the point he hardly uses it. Paolo will honour the remainder of the 2 year warranty although I cannot put my hand on the receipt just now. I can prove the age etc through emails I swopped with ACS. In fact Maria rang me last week to confirm the warranty. The machine is in very good condition and works faultlessly. It has not had any issues and no new parts at all. I live in Newcastle upon Tyne. You are welcome to collect it. I am happy to courier it at your expense and you have to organise things. It comes in the original box. Whatever it was supplied with as new, will be sold with it…..yes, that is french for my son has brought it round all l boxed up and I cannot be bothered to unpack it to check!
dfk41 oddbean Morning, I am not sure about the boilers as my son boxed it up and just delivered it. I can check with him today and easily empty them though if it has not been done
DavecUK oddbean Do you think it would be safe to be shipped? Have you emptied the boilers? Really no need to empty the boilers, certainly the brew boiler is sealed and nothing can leak out. The steam boiler can have most of it’s water removed, but not all as there “probably” isn’t drain taps on that one. They were introduced on all models about 1 year ago. The small amount of water left in the steam boiler shouldn’t cause any issues and is mostly retained by the vacuum breaker. If it’s a memory metal one (which some did have), then it’s a positive close anyway and nothing can come out.
dfk41 DavecUK I have checked with my son and as we speak, I am emptying the steam boiler, just for peace of mind
dfk41 Eyedee It is……just. I have two folks circling. One came yesterday and is allegedly coming back on Sunday. He is trying to beat me down but I am not dropping!
breeza A new black one now works out at £1500+ with shipping and VAT. They do look nice though with the laser-etched icons and new PID display.
dfk41 oddbean It was an idea Paolo came up with but although fitted to mine, I have no idea if it is much quiter
dfk41 I spent a pleasant time this morning, handing over the Minima to Ian and his wife. I made them a cuppa, we chatted away and they have just left. Thanks indeed for an easy, pleasant transaction Ian
Eyedee dfk41 Cheers man, nice pleasant visit, as it should be no hassle, no confrontations, just people getting along.
