What's your machine, grinders, roaster, tamper, beans etc etc

You know the drill.... so my setup:

Machine: ECM Giotto, currenty running a 22g backet  :o
Grinder: Gaggia MDF - not all that happy with it, but it's OK.
Roaster: Currently Rio Coffee, Adelaide (until Paul, Alex etc at Mecca get it sorted)
Tamper: who knows, generic 58mm flat based
Beans: Mecca's house roast


and mmick / ducmonrob you fellas know I started this with you in mind  :-*

Been fighting the overwhelming urge to buy a machine.
When I get one it's all over.
I'd never leave the house.

If I was to become housebound what grinder and machine should I get?

Machine: Mr. Coffee I bought at wal-mart 3 years ago.  Makes 4 cup a pot
Coffee: Millstone hazelnut cream
grinder, roaster, and tamper: done at the coffee factory

Depends on your budget.

I would think a Sunbeam paul bassett grinder and a Rancilio Silvia would be more than a decent start. I would think you'd be set up with that (inc accessories) for under $1k.

Machine: Bialetti stove top espresso pot
Grinder: Mazzer Mini !
Roaster: St Ali
Tamper: not necessary
Beans: St Ali espresso blend

raw organic sugar, full cream milk

International Roast, milk, sugar, hot water.

That's gonna give Nick a heart attack and Rob to say, yep, that's what I drink.

Thanks.
This could be the start of never seeing daylight.


International roast tastes heaps better than some of the coffee coming out of espresso machines around Sydney

This is more like it - good thread this one!

Machine: Bezzera BZ99S (14g single basket)
Grinder: Mini Mazzer - The best!
Roaster: I wish!
Tamper: SS 58mm flat based with wooden handle
Beans: Morgans and Don Adam (Sometimes Danes)

I would also love a lever pull Electra one day as well!

At work I have a trusty old Sunbeam that has no steaming power so I have to microwave the milk co:: But it still tastes fine  :)

It was only a matter of time wasn't it  r:e) ... next thing I know it will be made a sticky

Machine: Rancillio Mss Silvia
Grinder: Rancillio Rocky
Roaster:TBA
Tamper: SS 58mm
Bean: Morgans (freshly roasted this arvo hmmm)

I have an old Turkish woman down at the corner cafe which is only 4 doors down. She only knows how to make coffee with milk. Latte, Flat white, Cappuccino, its all the same exept for the chocolate sprinkles, but its a mean one and I don't have to clean up  wt:

Who can recommend a good "coffee" machine to make good skim Chai Latte????   co::

Don't do coffee but love my Chai.....  ;D

Jeez Super, I must be a bbit more up-market than you,

Nescafe, boiling water from the old kettle, and lots of milk.

Or as I like to say, 'Hot black coffee with cold white milk'.

I have an old Breville Clunker (not official model name) It is about 10yr old, makes about 6-8 coffees a day. Vittoria beans ground using my wifes old herb blender..
Works a charm! :bang

I've heard (and tasted) how good the rancilio Silva is, has anyone had experience with the Francis X series from Italy?

I have a Coffee Club Store. I just go to the Barista who is working that day, and say, " can I please have a Latte"

and then one appears in front of me. Of course if my Wife happens to be working that day, I have to make my own........................................ :-X

Where's your store? maybe brizmonsters unofficial meeting spot?

Coffee porn!

Trento the maestro barista brews (at St Ali) the best damn coffee in Melbourne called 'the magic' - a double ristretto pour turned into a flat white in a medium size (think long black) ceramic cup. Magic. Name says it all, really.

oh spider, now you've started.. Wait till big sees this thread...
