Oxford, postage no problem!

I have a redundant Bambino Plus here. Selling because I bought another (in white to suit our kitchen). This one is silver and has been mollycoddled!

@zaraki

it's apt to check back in after a few days of being a Bambino Plus owner.

I am La Pavoni through and through and have dabbled in Barista Express machines over the last few months and I think they are great at what they do, robust and for the price point (second hand) then infinitely better than a Gaggia Classic when it comes to the outputs.

I have no need for a Barista Express as I have a Mazzer Major so needed a standalone machine - enter the Bambino Plus. I like the fairly instant heat up time - definite game changer. Also fairly energy efficient as a result. Takes a good couple of mugs of water to thoruoughly heat the portafiter up though. Shots are great and the auto milk steamer has surpassed my expectations of it being a gimmick. My other half is able to use it and she's never made coffee at home before.

It does feel flimsy, being plastic but the features it packs makes up for it. Having been inside a Bambino I can tell from experience that these need to be ran on soft water as if the thermojet blocks you're fucked without spending out about £80 for a new one and getting someone to fit it if you're not competent.

After buying one that was beyond the point of repair, I finally have my hands on one that works! Looking forward to getting acquainted with it and will report back.

You need flush the boiler with cold water is my gut instinct.

I have a load of 55mm pad inserts but finding it hard to come across carriers for Cantis that take 55mm inserts.

Has anyone got a set they could post?

I'll keep my eyes out for you buddy!

Any water coming out at all through the grouphead, steam wand or water tap?

£50

Lol

Bump! As always open to offers 😊

I'll pm you.

Sorry yes I would say.

I'm all sorted now.

Edit - sorry not what I'm after

Great, sounds good. What length are they? Thanks!

Looking for something suitable for a cheapie CX build.

Preferably black and without chainrings will be nice. Maybe 170/172.5mm.

105/ultegra will do nicely, as will FSA Gossamer as this also fits hollowtech.

Lovely. What are they and how much are you looking for? Ta

Anyone on here in Germany, or anywhere in EU that could help me in purchasing a couple of small spare parts for a machine from a German supplier? It's literally half the price than the UK and of course they won't consider selling/shipping to the UK!
Even better if you're coming to the UK anytime soon and could post within the UK rather than posting from overseas.

Happy to reimburse in coffee of your choice!

£80

still needed!

£90 anyone?
