New Members Introduce Yourself

Hello, joined this after seeing a thread about the T64 from Belle Barista which I purchased from their shop today! Looking forward to see how it goes!

Admin

Welcome to the forum, you fell onto a fantastic deal with the grinder. I think way better than the DF64, which I also have.

I lost track of the UK coffee forums landscape after the CFUK/TalkCoffee etc saga but seems like this is now the place to be :) Lurked for a while but registered now.

So much the place to be for me that I don't know what you are referring to 😎

Hello everyone. This is all new to me, so apologies in advance for not really understand how it works. I’m a big fan of manual espresso machines and hand grinders, but have recently started making more filter and have acquired an EK43.

Admin

Welcome to the forum, lots of people, including me, enjoy filter coffee.

Even with milk? 🫣

Looks a while since anyone has posted here, but I'm new so forgive me ..long time coffee drinker only dabbled a little with aeropress and bean to cup and now doing some due diligence and research before jumping in with both feet…I hope

Admin

Lewi Welcome.

Lewi

Admin Thanks….Im in Hampshire ..just been reading through some of the more recent posts …as I'm looking for an initial setup I'm going to reach out to BB and see if they have any T64 grinders available , if not, may wait until they get another shipment…If your Bianca 1 doesn't go then I think that would be a fantastic machine for me !!

Admin

Lewi If your Bianca 1 doesn’t go then I think that would be a fantastic machine for me !!

If you want it you can have it…it would be a good machine..and pretty much as new. Endgame for most normal people.

Lewi

You think it would pair well with T64 ? Is there a way to "flash" the firmware on the Bianca ?

Lewi

Morning, so I had a look on the potential to flash firmware and discovered it's a no. V2 would be a swap out of LCC only and V3 a bit more complex as apparently a solenoid and LCC with connecting wire. In any case as a newbie I'm gonna be more than happy with V1 and probably shouldn't be thinking of tinkering right now anyway. As you say an endgame machine !!

Adrianmsmith

@Lewi

It will serve you well.

Other options would be

Decent
Evo leva mk2 with dose control. I really, really, really wish i had discovered the lever prior to the e61!!

I mention 1 and 2 as options for different types / styles of machine not just different machine.
