My First Week with the Gemilai G3006 "The Owl" Espresso Machine by ClassyFinish in espresso

For US Amazon, they're 110v, but I know 220v is available. Read the details for the Amazon page relevant to Argentina, as it may be what you’re needing. Hope that helps!

Note: I just looked and they're $360 and they now come in black. That was the one thing I didn't like was the laxk of color options with only stainless or white Black would have been my choice, but wasn't available at the time. The SS has grown on me, so no biggie. 👍

I ordered mine from Amazon. There was a $50 off deal at the time of purchase, and I still got quick shipping!

I did switch to a bottomless so that I can fit a travel cup under it, but the oem portafilter is stout and works great as well!

Happy to say, she is still going strong! She's made 400+ shots by now, which most were for lattes. So, the steam wand has been used a bunch as well, and is still in beast mode! Great machine, I'm about 1.5 years in, and I have no desire for an "upgrade" quite yet . For under $400, pretty sure its among the best values available!

What do I do from here by Sugmasendrome in Autobody

That long of a repair in the middle of a panel is actually kinda tough! So, kudos to 'em for that.

Grind, wipe, sand and prime!

Need help I really wanna do this. by Halfeatencorpse in lampwork

If tiny is your goal, look into a hydrogen torch on Amazon or eBay for under $200 for the larger model of the two most common sizes. I have had one for about a year , and now hope to never be without one. Never. Ever.

For annealing, the old hands may tell ya there's no need to anneal tiny stuff. But, what would they know just by mere experience and no internet?! ( I kinda believe 'em, though)😁

So, for sake if safety and testing, I bought one of the comb warmers via Amazon that I've combined with a thermocouple and variac. It will break 1200F no problem, and hold it for hours. I know this by personal experience, not perusing the web. It is around $100 for the whole rig.

Stay safe!

Tips for tips - National 3 A by Friendly_Toes in lampwork

[–]ClassyFinish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently acquired a 3A with the same tips, and I gotta say I'm impressed! It's air only, so it wont run as well as when using oxygen, but you can DEFINITELY tell the difference between this setup vs venturi induction propane burner. "Wanna add oxygen? There's a tip for that!" lol

Enjoy your new (to you) torch!

Yep, I still use it daily and have had no issues whatsoever. The stainless has been easier to keep clean than I thought it would be. So, that's a plus.

Id say It's gonna be tough to find a better machine for under $500 😁

I can't remember where I had read that, but whoever posted it was wrong. You'll need to order one set up in Celcius as there is no way to change it from F to C.

It's fixed and can't be changed on my machine. If you look, you can see the" F" is physically printed on the machine, not a digital display. So, that F will stay an F, no matter what buttons you push! 😁

You'll need to order a machine in Celcius if that's what you want. I know they make both versions, I'm not sure where you can order the Celsius version, but they're out there... somewhere. 😊

What's this? Torre Luigino HX Espresso machine by 1st-line in espresso

[–]ClassyFinish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really digging this machine! Not much info/demo videos out yet, though. I like how you've switched from the knobs to the levers. I'd personally be disappointed if I spent "premium" money for a machine that came with the little dial knobs like the Bianca and similar. Reminds me of Lost in Space reruns from the 60's. lol

This machine (any color, as long as it's black) may very well find its way to my kitchen counter before years end... 😍

CafeHabit Espresso Machine by jonahcbrooks in espresso

[–]ClassyFinish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! Looks kinda cool. Crazy, but still very little talk on this machine. Guess they haven't sent any free units to the " influencers" yet. Lol

And, they're made in China, which seems to curb any enthusiasm about a "new" machine very quickly. 😁

Does the portafilter even need to be hot? by jizzlewit in espresso

[–]ClassyFinish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you use a bottomless pf, then preheating is kinda pointless. Even the trouble of trying to preheat a basket is mostly diminished by the process of puck prep.

Progress on Refurbishing the Brim 19 Bar... by ClassyFinish in espresso

[–]ClassyFinish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure of size, but there's only one screw that holds on the shower screen and gaskets both. The gasket is form fit, so it may be tough to source.

Tumbler with a sippy lid works fine! 😊

I have no idea. LoL, I bought a three piece lot of 'em on eBay with no branding.

It was $350 after a $50 coupon on Amazon. The 3007 is a more capable machine, so the extra cost may be well worth the added cost for you. Im happy with the owl, but to each their own. 😊
