Hey guys,

As much as I want to put this in the classifieds section I think I need some help. I am trying to track down a decent espresso maker in the lines of a Gaggia, Rancillio or Ascaso you get the drift. But I am not sure where to look. It seems to be a very niche market here in SA. Can someone perhaps point me in the right direction. I would love to snap a a good secondhand one. Hey and if you have one drop me a PM.
 
Check for Tron’s thread.

Should find something in there.

And Espresso by it’s very definition is Italian isn’t it?
 
Thanks guys I score BIG got the Ascaso Uno Pro for R4500 brand new from someone selling their old stock on OLX WHOOP WHOOP retails for almost R15k!

You lucky bastard!!!! I actually gave up my coffee shop goal 2016 because rent rates were insane in Cape Town CBD. I guess it's one more year of wage cucking

Super lucky, when I went to collect I asked the guy why he had three new machines he said when the rand tanked to the Euro it became to expensive to import, so this was just chilling in their warehouse. He initially listed for R8k and dropped to R5k and I neg down to R4.5k. I mean brand new as in, in the box with all packaging unused and sealed. Cant beat that! My budget was only R5k don't think I could do any better!

@redviking already provided the link get hold of him ASAP if you are still looking he has another Uno and Duo hurry before its too late. Super friendly guy ran the machine and took me through how to use it to confirm all in good order.

I honestly cant thing you will find a better deal for a very very long time!

Haha when I asked my wife where I can put it in the kitchen, she said "...no where..." :P Think she has heard enough of non- pressurised portafilter, milk steaming, pulling shots :P
