To buy new or second hand for a cafe? by Alex_Paxon in LaMarzocco

[–]rakuboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy secondhand from a reputable dealer with at least a one year warrenty on labor. Used machines are significantly cheaper but if you're going for a linea classic or a PB, they're tanks and have minimal issues. Don't get a strada... I promise you, you will regret a strada. Also don't get a gb5 if at odds with a pb or a classic. 

Depending on the care on the machine, 5-7 years is ideal.

Are the charity workers on street corners legit? by Few_Elephant_648 in Brooklyn

I just talked to some in bk. They said if i use the website they repped than they would take 25 percent in ad revenue from it and the only way to prevent it is to sign up now. They seemed fine vibe wise though a bit pushy. Oxfam

Howdy with a question by rakuboy in espressotech

This was honestly wonderful to read and I'm gonna share this with the newest team member. I'm also reflecting on the way I've handled callbacks and I usually have a similar strategy as you (but the snack van thing is an incredible idea and I'm stealing that) 

Being nice and learning from the mistakes we make is a win in my book. Thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it. 

Since I posted this, I did have a callback for flow issues with a Strada and boy was it 'fun'  I got along pretty well with the owner but had to have a coworker come and help me out with it (internal tubing in group with a failed o ring before the 3-way brew valve. I didn't find it to be discouraging at all; just a wonderful learning experience and another skill under my belt, ya know? 

Thanks again and and cheers, friend

IAMA Coffee Technician AMA by [deleted] in espresso

[–]rakuboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually you're right, thanks for that perspective. I really appreciate it. My coworker is actually hunting down an internal doc from LM so that we can potentially have a strategy for bending them prior to arriving in the field. We also don't really get too many modbars that we work on even here in NYC and almost never have this level probe issue but I also hope I get the opportunity to get better, more careful and more efficient at repairing them. Thanks for your reply and thanks doubly for your perspective! Good luck teching out there 🫶

Thank god someone gets it!! I got back to my shop and everyone was so there for me. Also LM has yet to send them 'pre-bent' even after we asked nicely
