    Yeah they appear to be the only UK stockist. Preorder but they claim to have some in tomorrow.

    I have two pairs of triodes to sell which should easily cover the cost. So I figured why not?

    I think their service is second to none, so if they have it, they'll get it to you. Happy days

    I view it as a bit of a £400 grinder in a £400 coat but looks do matter to a fair extent when it's sat next to a stunning looking machine.

    Should last a very long time I hope.

    Had a house full of visitors this weekend, and did something fun: made a big pot of Neopolitan flip pot coffee (strong brew, like moka pot); let it cool and poured it into an ice cube tray and froze it; dropped one frozen coffee ice cube into each of a bunch of low-ball glasses and poured in a good shot of Baileys. As the ice cube slowly melts it infuses the Baileys with the coffee... Delicious! Everyone loved it. We nearly emptied a 1.5 litre bottle of Baileys doling these out.

    Tried it last night again, but with Sambuca...also delicious!

    Anyone with a moka pot could easily do this too, but I used the flip pot as it makes a big batch of strong brew in one go.

    Let me know if you try it. Enjoy!

    Sounds good Tim. Hope you like it... But what's not to like? Baileys and coffee are great together . Sambuca and espresso likewise - a classic combination. This is just a different way of bringing them together.

    Not into Sambuca, as I don't like the taste of aniseed.

    They are nice made well. Very nice. Then I found I just got fed up with it. Good once in a while. Will do some this Xmas.
