I got one of Normcore self-levelling ones for my Pavoni - mainly because I seem incapable of tamping level. I'm very happy with it so far. Another plus is its 49.7mm (rather the 49mm) so fits the basket better.

This.
Trump, Johnson and Farage all leveraged playing the media buffoon to gain power. Mogg is mainly known because of his Beano toff routine and this will be a way to try and keep himself in the public eye in the hope of a political comeback.
Like the other three, he also needs constant attention. People knowing he employs a human Bentley Buffer will give him much more pleasure than the shine of his Bentley. -
The mod won't help with mess/retention. It's for Blind Shakers and non-standard catch cups. The guy 3D prints them to order. I happy with it so far.
-
I could be lucky but I've had my DF54 for around 3 months and only had to clean the chute with a pipe cleaner once. No real static issues for espresso and a bit of RDT for means none for filter either.
Just fitted this ebay purchased mod to enable direct to blind shaker grinding. -

I must say that I'm shocked and surprised that neither Farage or Yaxley-Lennon have instigated a riot outside Lambeth Palace in protest the CofE's current sexual abuse scandal. I would've thought it was just the sort of issue that gets them worked up but for some unknown reason they don't seem bothered.

I switched from cheap espresso machine to La Pavoni and love it but I wouldn't recommend it for making more than two drinks in a row.
If you decide to go from the Gaggia DM me as I have a code that will knock an extra tenner off.
-
If you go down the Sage route it's worth signing up for Coffee Kev's email list as it offers access to Sage discount codes (along with Gaggia and others). Sage regularly do discounts, so don't buy at rrp.

I run Challenge Strada Pro in 25c on my mid-80s good weather bike at around 80-85psi. I switched to latex tubes which has added to the comfort (though they do require regular pumping and extra care when fitting). This set up is noticeably more comfortable than with regular tyres and tubes but it's never going to be as forgiving as the 32c on my winter/commuter bike.
-
Had the drill out earlier fitting some Raw mud flaps, so thought try a ghetto version of @spinnnout's elegant
rear light placement. Filed an old Cateye fitting flat and bolted in on, with a strip of old inner tube underneath to hopefully soak up the vibrations. Let's see if it's still attached this time next week... -
Big Condor 4yr old in Leicester. A few chips and a top tube ding but not a bad price:

Does that 'too many' include herself and the other mental giants running for tory leadership?
-
A section of a 2l plastic drinks bottle might do it?

I've used Coffee Sensor and Blue Star Coffee and been happy with both. Coffee Sensor has the best range but is only worth using if you buy a lot as the starting P&P is high.
-
Honestly, I can't say it bothered me. It beeps when you turn it on, when you press start and when it's finished. So realistically, that's 3 beeps, not a big deal and made up for by the fact that it turns itself off when done, so you don't have to. DMing now.
-
So long as I gave the beans a bit of RDT action, I didn't have any meaningful issues. The only minor thing I found was that you might have to help the last few beans into the grinder as the RDT can cause them to stick slightly to the hopper sides.
It's much quieter, faster and less prone to mess than the DF54 that's replaced it. But it can't do espresso.

My Gen 1 Ode is now sadly surplus to requirements. It's ground around 200g a week since purchased new last October (until it was decommissioned in June). Still in amazing condition, with cleaned burrs, packed it in its original box with the little brush - any interest for £120? Pick up from E5 or happy to post.
It can pretty much be transformed into the Gen 2 by switching to Gen 2 burrs (£75) but being V1 it won't take SSP.
-
Bottomless portafilter and a triple basket? I can get about 17g in and 35-40g out with a bit of pre-infusion and Fellini action.

Hi, looks like a repainted 60s Peugeot or similar French brand to me. Charming bike but of little value, unfortunately. 50 - 100 quid if you found someone who loved it.

Keeping with the dogs on holiday vibes. Spending a few nights at a cottage on Loch Fyne. Lochan the boarder terrier is living her best life.

Fantastic! Really captures the magic.

2nd year in a row, I've had to enviously watch waves of riders going down my street on their way out of Hackney. Looked to be a big Brompton turn out and at least one penny farthing.
...hopefully, the stars will align for me to do it next year.
