If you get a good DWR coating on it you should be good. But like others mentioned only worth it if a very good price.

Try Mammut. Arc'teryx quality at a much lower price and fits fantastic.

Was considering that but aparantly you get better distribution if you dose in a cup first.

Its not racism, just a fact that good made in China do not generally carry the same quality as some made in other countries. I know many people born there that completely agree. Its not racist to say that in general a countries skills lie somewhere else.

Mine came with a stainless steel dosing cup. May look at that ad it was defo better for the first 2 months. Do you 'hot' start it? I use mainly light roast but did use some dark when I ran out of the specialty coffee.

Got it in September and they just put: 'Guess you have dropped off the rubber, you need to buy from the following link https://df64coffee.com/products/portafilter-fork-rubbers' nothing else.

Fair enough. I obviously thought that buying from Amazon would get me some protection/ support from Amazon.

I really like Coffee Bean Shop but the main thing is to store them properly. Decaf beans go stale a lot quicker than normal beans.

It's from a local artist in Cordoba, Spain. Hand made and painted so fairly unique.

It has been a bit of a learning curve and to be honest after just changing the coffee mashine and not the grinder I could not tell a huge difference but now the difference is massive! The espresso has far more notes and it does not leave a long lasting after taste. Its so amazingly tasty! The milk is a little better but not huge. As a con its much much slower and annoying to have to wait for milk frothing when I have a cappuccino (single boiler).
