Woah that some serious stuff.... Everyone dream machine... almost i prefer much for giotto rockets

Look promising but don get fool by just the few developer talk.... i suspecting it might be good only for drip and press but not espresso...

Don get me wrong about me against press or drip, i just sharing my thought on the devices and not about drip or press.

Yup, My silvia now is in better hands of new owner only so i can concentrate on my modding. The silvia is attracting me to make more coffee...just joking

Haha, I 'm not quitting espresso yet, I still have my oscar but not in working condition yet (Due to time constraint that i spend with my family so sorry Oscar, you have to wait for a while) and i know it been delaying weeks after weeks now as what could had been done faster now take almost a month plus my new spare parts that worn off just came in.

I'm ordering the boiler retention valve made out of steel to replace my original plastic one

Original valve built consist of plastic and brass.



and this part always broken after used for sometime. u know plastic will erode after dipping in the water sometime. This will lead to spritz and inconsistent water flow.



New mod valve consist of one piece built full metal and brass



used to fixed here



that still on the shipment but i will fixed everything up first then change that later.....since it can be easily accessible without remove all of the item.

while waiting for my retention valve kit..... i did some machining customization on the front plate to fit in the lever on the old hole since im pushing the pipe in....





Yeah, i know it is a sloppy job .... the hole look like sh@t and uneven .... you know how hard is it to cut through this high quality stainless steel plates....

Nop, drill it with bench drilling machine and starbucks for the guy who borrow his machine to me..... i wish i got dremel tool , it would make my job easier but it is too expensive to buy just for 1 time used ....

I'm suspecting another problem arise.... there will be nothing to hold brass steam body except for this plate that mount to the front panel which will lock between lever and the fork... got to try and see if it work. I'm only afraid it will move once i push up the lever for temporary steam.

For the moment of truth is about to review.... *ba dum tss*



It's alive...... yes, it is alive......

hidden steam wand (Alot of work involve) unlike the protusion ones Less work more easy)....

not yet as the machine is still in the state of 90% complete, I still have one more replacement part comes in which just reach my hand and also i need to solve some minor leak problem

Nop, Wrap a lot of PTFE piping tape.... Still there is leaks, Tried putty for piping also no used, still leaks, only way to check the leak is to remove the leak area, clean and apply thread locker again because i didn't complete remove everything when i did cleaning due to my assumption that the area are not affected.

Argh, big time screw up, i used alternative substitution loxeal brand of threadlocker (loctite 272), now having hard time to remove them..... this crap is bite strong....

Thanks,
i will kept that in mind. For now, i will try to disassemble, clean and reassemble while apply new threadlocker to see if the leak due to wear on the old thread locker which advice by some expert ppl from elektros.


I rather not getting any chemical involve in the process. I will try to used heat gun to remove it since i saw many video show that it can be remove by heating up the area.

Update: Finally, I defeated the legendary fomidable red loctite 272 with mininal damage done. Boiler still intact with no dent and some small scratches and ding on the anti vacuum nut.... Now to wait for the actual used loctite which i just order from elektros.

Morning guys, Watch this last night.....Battle between two of the most wanted entry level grinders....



damm hard to decide which grinder i want to get now.... obviously love the mignon also at the same time love the speed of sette....

What is your question again ?

both had its goods and bad....i would choose mignon over sette after much consideration....
Yeah, sette is good, digital, direct to portafilter without wastage and fast..... but the grind is not as fine as mignon....programmable timer ? I can live it .... once set, then all done, you wont need them anymore unless you constantly change beans same goes for the dail, Clump from the grind, hmm what machine doesn't clump ..... fast, well im not doing any coffee bar or shop.... i love taking my time making a cup of coffee i love

but my consideration might not be agree by some...

True true, because what they had could be pre alpha version of grinder.... fingers cross

It is just all base on the feelings....that sometime it is hard to make judgement but it all comes down to who do you trust the most in your review...some say SCG review is crap some say WLL is good.... if only we could test out on real life

I think the price is reasonable.... if you do 1 to 1 conversion is it about close to 2k......

one must not forget.... the person who sell you also want to gain profit..... plus order in taxation is not like it used to be, everything now will be charge for high price.... example taken from my friend order his watch overseas last few weeks back and got heavy tax as well.... just for rm500 watch other country price but cost him up to rm900 watch when reaches our shore to his hand....

well not for my friend in that case.

Agree with below from tishaban on one of the point..... If you get US item it will be cheaper..... i brought grinder that using 110V and i can say it is cheap here few hundred ringgit but of your getting Europe or UK or anytime which runs on 240v ..... it will be expensive....

found this....



Kind of interesting those who want to do 3d art
