Lets kick off with some beautiful measuring equipment and it's even coffee related for some projects I'm doing. Micrometer (1 micron), depth gauge (1 micron) and calipers (10 micron). A pleasure to use, especially the callipers as my other set are Mitutoyo, but 60 years old (my dads) and in thou.

Not nearly as desirable as Dave's Mitutoyo triptych, but I my AliExpress order arrived, Timemore scales and tamping stand. https://p8.f1.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/6quvgKo1/d1df3fad-2e19-4680-8ce4-1b3b2beda9c9.jpg https://p8.f1.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/2NuPLY8D/e86b8e20-5899-4d8c-9d5f-c6d9f5ac229c.jpg https://p8.f1.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/jkuEwdpG/3de85076-95b0-4234-8023-c13f2363b3dd.jpg Tamping stand reminds me of a monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. https://p8.f1.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/7KuA5eZw/ab5f8c5e-ae80-4b21-9ca1-6eaf383dc281.jpg

Up and running again now 😄 .

Getting this up three flights of stairs was fun. 😫 https://p8.f1.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/P8u84KYQ/8b682a6b-1150-4422-868a-c702db2c2a05.jpg

@"Elcarajillo"#p228 Looks good Frank, especially like the PID, much better than the old one…you going to keep the longer legs :😉 And @"Gagaryn"#p405 at least it isn't a Vesuvius Evo?

@"Gagaryn"#p405 All the legs are intact for a change.

What did postman bring today ?

Doram

DavecUK Courtesy of Lelit all the way from Italy, a Black Bianca, possibly with a darker than normal wood option.

Looking forward to an in depth review of the colours. ;-)

DavecUK

Doram I just realised what might be in the other box…I set of walnut wood bits…I bet all the productions ones are made with white wood…..which I thought didn’t look as good as the standard lelit walnut option…but I’m getting as a new fridge freezer arrived today….Damaged of course…but inside somehow..I presume the top shelf wasn’t fitted right and when they closed the door at the factory…crack!

Plus all the white tape means to hold the shelves in place, wasn’t doing it’s job, it had been put on and not stuck onto the shelves at all. So all of them were free to move.

Doram

DavecUK but I’m getting as a new fridge freezer arrived today….Damaged of course…but inside somehow..I presume the top shelf wasn’t fitted right and when they closed the door at the factory…crack!

Ouch. I can imagine the person closing the door and thinking “what was that noise? Better not open it again, I am sure it’s fine and no one will notice anyway.”

I have to say though, that fridge doesn’t look anything like a Black Bianca.

LMSC

DavecUK fridge freezer arrived today….Damaged of course…

Hope the replacement goes smoothly. GL!

DavecUK

LMSC I just need a new door….hopefully they will deal at some point.

LMSC

Roasted on 22 Sep, ordered on the 3rd Oct and delivered today. It’s already 2 weeks old on delivery. I will let this sit for 2 more and vac.

LMSC

DavecUK Are the rest ok?

DavecUK

LMSC Yes, just need to arrange the door swap date

Doram

First time for me to buy greens that have cup scores (84, 85, 86 [Brazilians], 84.25 [Colombia] and 88 [Rwanda]) so have high hopes for these.

DavecUK

It was a black Bianca with light wood, and also the full black wood kit and matching tamper in the other box.

No nuts though.

DavecUK Courtesy of Lelit all the way from Italy, a Black Bianca,

That’s nice! May I ask, will it have new features (and are you giving them feedback) or is it something else? 😊

DavecUK

MediumRoastSteam I suspect it’s not modified in any way, I think Mauro just wanted me to have one as a bit of a thank you for all the help.

I mean developmentally, not the advertorial youtuber type help.

MediumRoastSteam

DavecUK I think Mauro just wanted me to have one as a bit of a thank you for all the help.

Well… What can I say…. Well done, and well deserved, for sure!

You did a lot of work for them with your reviews. 4 machines (Mara, MaraX, Elizabeth, Bianca). Before those machines and your reviews Lelit was pretty much an unknown brand over here. And now… One of the favourites.

Very nice of Mauro to have recognised the work you have done for them. A true gentleman.

LMSC

DavecUK think Mauro just wanted me to have one as a bit of a thank you for all the help.

How nice! Well and truly deserved. Hope @Paolo_Cortese and ACS will do the same! 😊

Btw, photos please!

Smith street order. Ordered on Wednesday, shipped Thursday, delivered today !

DavecUK

LMSC Ha, ha, hahahaa….no!

I won’t get a chance to unpack Bianca until I return from Naples, although I hope Lelit go to the coffee festival in Trieste (last 5 days of October) as I will be there. I will drop him a message.

Paolo_Cortese

LMSC

i’ll cook for him much better than a coffee machine 🤣🤣🤣

in any case Dave have some of my protypes not only a standard machines, some are also signed with my blood 😬

also i’ll teach him to drive in naples at no cost!!!

LMSC

These!

LMSC

Paolo_Cortese Great hearing from you! Hope you had a lovely summer break!

I always thought if some one can drive safely in India, one may drive anywhere in the world! Perhaps, I should reconsider! 😃

Paolo_Cortese Dave have some of my protypes not only a standard machines, some are also signed with my blood

On a lighter vein, that alpha patient is on a ventilator, needs some blood transfusions and life-savings drugs! 😂🤣🤣🤣

I will pop in when I visit Naples next time.

One question, if you don’t mind asking! Have you guys resolved the scratches issues on the lever we have had in the first 2-3 batches please?

Thx for chipping in!

coffeealex

Paolo_Cortese also i’ll teach him to drive in naples at no cost!!!

If you can get him to drive in Naples, he will have acquired the skills of a F1 driver! I remember an Italian friend picking me up from Capotichino airport this one time and giving me a lift to his house on the back of a Vespa. How I survived the trip to this day I still do not know. To cap it all his mum asked if I was a little tired from the flight as I looked rather pale………

Paolo_Cortese

LMSC

i never been in India, in any case i think that the worst place to drive is in Portugal….

when you will come in Naples you are welcome, we have an extensive course “how to build the machine”

about the scratches we have solved made the scratches ourself before the shipping, 😁

in any case we are using a washer under the spring in order to avoid torsion nut we need more time to see if the problem will be fixed definetively…

i’ll keep you informed.

if someone will travel in north of italy in the end of october we will be at Trieste coffee trade show from 27 to 29 and everyone are welcome to drink a cup of coke!!!

finally we will present the Vostok 1 group in the definitive version we new interesting news……
