Sorry I got rid of mine a couple of years ago, opted for a La Pav as its easier to work on. Give him another try as he was really helpful

Have you tried Tomasz at the Zacconi factory? http://www.zacconi.net/en/contacts.html He was really helpful when I was fixing my one up.

Good luck @Hasihope it goes well. Stand looks great!

So presumably purchasers will get an email notifying them of the disk being available @DavecUK?

The element I removed says 230v so I'm guessing that yourd may need replacing

Thank goodness it's the wrong end of the country to me!

Jim sent me this recently when I was ordering a replacement element - https://www.theespressoshop.co.uk/en/La-Pavoni-Lever-Element-1000200w-230v---331336/m-2193.aspx Don't forget to order a replacement "O" ring too.

My spares have recently also come from espressoshop and were really helpful when I called them. Their site is good as it holds wiring and parts diagrams, which is quite handy for seeing which bit goes where!

Your local electrician should be able to do it.

Mines currently in bits as it tripped the electrics 10 days ago & not being able to see what was wrong I had my electrician look at it last night after he fitted new lights for us. Turns out the mains cable was burnt out & I'll get him.to fit the new one. Gaskets etc are easy to fit but electrics are best left to the experts.

I'd go used la pavoni & SJ - both can then be nodded to suit, and if budget allowed I'd stick a v60 in there as the grinder will cover both.

I've seen them in Small Batch too

I brought the wife a kitchen aid one a few years ago, seems to do the job and you can get a number of attachments for different jobs. Makes wicked ice cream!

I couldn't care less if they chimed or if people celebrated, the politicians in this country have been an embarrassment to us all over the past 3 1/2 years & I'd rather they spent their time sorting out more important issues. Rant over ? let's get back to coffee talk please

Oh I like the idea of the coffee tattoo! Artists you have been instructed!
