Talk Coffee espresso machine blueprinting
Reply #2 - Apr 3^rd, 2009, 5:29pm

Calibrate my machine

We have increased the range of e-61 machines on which we can do this work. Despite some machines being built to importers' personal requirements, we find there are often significant variations between machines and oversights such as pump pressures set to 12 bar, incorrectly set boiler pressure, massive cooling flushes or groups which run too cold.

Bottom line is that machine manufacturers simply assemble machines. Sometimes they're just not that into coffee....

We:

spend at least 2 hours working with your machine

can provide before and after Scace information for your machine

install custom restrictor sets as required to increase your steam pressure and minimise cooling flush where applicable

can service your machine at the same time if you wish

Our upgrade service is subject to inspection/discussion but an improvement in performance is possible with most e-61 brands.

If your machine spits fire and steam when you operate the group, we can generally make an improvement.

The cost? $200-$300 for most machines in good condition and free of scale (subject to inspection). We can service your machine at the same time.

You are welcome to contact me for further details.

Chris

Financing your business purchase...
Reply #5 - Apr 12^th, 2010, 12:08pm

goRent.goGrow.goOwn™ @ Talk Coffee & Cuppacoffee
Like Cuppacoffee, we are also vendors for GoGetta (a division of Silver Chef) and are now able to offer a cost effective way of renting or purchasing commercial equipment without the huge outlay.

Great benefits of the GoGetta Rental Solution include:
• Low weekly rental repayments.
• The chance to free up your valuable working capital within your business.
• The ability to try before you buy.
• Peace of mind from knowing you’re not stuck with equipment that isn’t perfect for your needs.
• A 12 month agreement – don’t get locked into a long term lease. If you purchase equipment at any time during the first 12 months you'll receive a 75% rental rebate.
• No directors’ guarantees, so you don’t have to put your house on the line!
• Rental payments are 100% tax-deductible.
• Renting is off ‘balance sheet’, meaning it doesn’t affect your capacity to borrow for future expansion.
• The option to return equipment at the end of the 12 month agreement if no longer required.
• The option to continue to rent after the initial 12 month period – and GoGetta will simply continue to reduce your purchase price.

If you have any questions, or would like a calculation of costs for any coffee related equipment you have in mind, just let me know via email or pm

Chris (& Den up North...)

On the bench:
Reply #8 - Jul 13^th, 2010, 6:25pm

We get lots of calls asking what's on the bench for a look/test, so I thought I'd spill the beans:

Currently:

Rocket Espresso Giotto Evoluzione
Izzo Alex Duetto II
Izzo Nuova Pompei PID lever- all 60kg of it..
Vibiemme Domobar Junior
Diadema Junior Extra
GEE espresso: The new Silvia competitor...
A whole heap of grinders, including Kony-e and Robur-e

Unlike some other outlets, we know our machines. We don't sell inferior machines just because the margins are good, because others sell them, or because they look ok. If it's on range, it works well and is not a dumb machine.

We service every machine we sell and we reckon our service is second to none!

Check out our CS member special offers webpage. Access to members with >10 posts or call for a password. Alternately, browse away here in our sponsor area ^^^^^^ for all the good goss.

Torrefactore 2 kg roaster
Reply #9 - Aug 9^th, 2010, 8:20pm

For those CS'ers who have been following Mark's posts http://coffeesnobs.com.au/YaBB.pl?num=1271763496/33#33 re the Torrefactore 2kg roaster, we advise that they are about 5 weeks away.

If you are thinking of being an early adoptor and saving yourself some substantial cash to establish your green stash, now is the time to get a deposit down as there is very limited stock at introductory pricing.

They are available from Talk Coffee, Cuppacoffee and Coffee Roasters Australia.

NB graphic displays the prototype.
