I will!

It is supposed to be complete with all the original extras, including the original users manual. It is quite a story. No use writing it though without the photos so I have to await arrival and that can take another week.

Meanwhile bought me and my love a set of http://www.1st-line.com/store/pc/catalo ... eneral.jpg

The crisis ís hitting hard:
Not only did the seller of the Picola seriously reduce the none too high asking price, I am getting email with pricereduction on the other machines I enquired about too :!:

The Mini Gaggia with steamwand is now 130 Euros shipped :shock:
I do not want another machine, I want nót another but do find it seriously hard to resist this. Repeat to myself; I DÓ want NÓT anóther one :mrgreen:

Sorry but since I am not familiar with how strict the rules here are, I have also posted them on a the non watch related subforum of a UK watch forum, the thread with the photos of the Arin has subsequently been deleted because of double posting.

Ditto the experiences with it. Tant pis guys.

Just scored a third grinder too!!!

A Mazzer Super Jolly with the telescopic tamper option.
Véry good condition, warranty, 135 Euros shipped :!:

Now for a lower hopper or a jam-funnel since the machine is meant to go with the Europiccola on the farm, it must be quite a bit lower. It will need to fit under the overhead cupboards because the resident female is nót going to give me more kitchen space :mrgreen:

Just received a response from Mazzer and they have a dealer in Málaga!
Not just Málaga but literally around the corner, 50 yards from Ascaso!! They are also Gaggia distributer/dealer. That is all rather convenient.
