Any alternative to Behmor?
I don't have experience with the Skywalker roaster but I'm interested in it. I've watched a few videos of it on YouTube.

ACS waiting times
Congratulations! I assume you've already made your choices on the machine options itself and this is directed at DHL/customs. I am by no means an expert.

And, when that status indicates anything other than smooth processing through customs, call or email DHL

Gaggia Classic - no water flow when HOT
Hi Guys, I'm after some expert help. I have an old Gaggia Classic which has eventually succumbed over years of use. I have recently completely stripped her down, (this is the second time now), and cleaned her up, boiler, grouphead, solenoid, opv etc. I ended up replacing the solenoid, thermostats, o rings and seal as per online videos and all
