I do it all the time.


Do It All The Time - Ryan's House Stockton CA Oct. 1989

Awesome!

I saw the "I do it all the time" quote and thought... yeah Violent Femmes, then right away headed off to find the video. You had apparently beaten me to it.

Here's what I came back with only to find you were waaaaay ahead of me. ;-)

Are we still talking about the squatting bulldog?

Is $125 a good price for a Nuova Simonelli AMF grinder?


This? http://www.chriscoffee.com/products/home/grinders/nuovamcf

No.



Nuova Simonelli's grinders are all made by an Italian company named Eureka. They make some pretty stout grinders! They are like tanks. They actually cost even more when they have the Eureka Brand name on the versus the Nuova name. http://www.eureka.co.it/home.php?id=prodotti

I think this one would have the coolness factor that Pyment is looking for:

What's the wholesale price on a K-10 or A-8 - $850 or so? I might be interested in a group buy.

How much are you willing to pay me to change it? This is 'merica, where everything's negotiable!

How about a open box, commercial 1 group machine with these stats:

5.8 liter boiler
2100W heating element
220v
rotary pump
Automatic boiler filling
Double gauge (Boiler and pump pressure)
Heating control by pressure switch 
Manual steam tap
Manual hot water tap
Dimensions (W X D X H) mm    430 x 510 x 510
Net weight 42kg

for about $500 shipped?

Maybe that's too much machine.

No such things as "too much machine"! What brand and model is it (PM me if you don't want to give too much info online)? My Bunn is 16x20x14, and that's about as big a machine as Mrs T will let me have on her counter top.

Supposedly never used. I almost believe it.
