Espresso by Arden- need parts

actually they can't. i was the buyer, not the seller. but i ordered the courier. i anticipated that they would try it. so I photo'd the packaging which i also pointed out that if there were concerned yet took the package then they are still responsible as they accepted the deal when they could have refused to take the package

Espresso by Arden- need parts

i haven't yet tested the electronics themselves although the front touch panel would certainly require replacing. i found a bit of it in the box that could be glued to the rest but i'm not optimistic it would work. i wouldn't say i was a major expert at electronics, but i've repaired a few small bits in my time. what

Moonshine burrs too acidic...?

I find that for immersion brewing, I have to give it over a full turn, about 1 1/4, from the lock point, for best results. I like a more concentrated brew 12.5 to 15 to 1, and a coarser than usual grind when using it for very light roasts

Help with Livia 90 Giemme R.L.3 SONDE repair
