FOR SALE: non-runner La Marzocco GS 1 Group!! *pic inside*

[coffee4life]

Hi,
i have non-runner La Marzocco GS 1 Group
the brew boiler is in a really bad way - cracked in 2 places from what looks like ice formation. the main obvious damage is the fact that the brass heating element fitting that is brazed onto the end of the brew boiler has come out, this has happened because the boiler was full of water when it arrived and it had frozen at some point.

other area of damage was the other end of the brew boiler. Likewise the drain fitting had also been forced out from the inside.

Hey coffee4life:

I don't want to sound cruel, but for it would cost too much to repair this machine, and it wouldn't be worth it. Unfortunately in my opinion, you might have a good door stop.

Sounds like Coffee4Life got stung- maybe this macine arrived here 2nd hand like we see in the picture. It bad luck if thats the case. I am sure the frozen boiler did not happen in downtown Jakarta- :grin:

Maybe we can get Alun to check out the machine for us?

What do you think coffee 4 life would that be ok???

Cos wed hate to send money to someone in Indonesia and never get the machine with the frozen boiler....

warning of scam

Please note that person trying to sell the espresso machine is a scammer. See the thread on this guy on http://coffeesnobs.com.au/YaBB.pl?num=1142950450 or just do an internet search for the sellers email address.

Why am I not surprised! This is the sort of idiot that makes my business life so much more difficult opperating out of Indonesia. This country has a reputation for scammers that is unfortunate. There is a company dealing in a well known animal poo coffee that also fall into this catergory. The Bastards lifted quite a bit of tect from my site as well as logos, and full text from others sites. My advice- think twice, or even 10 times, before dealing with people such as this.

Regarding the guy selling- I actually did try and contact him- thus my suspicion the guy was a fake. Sad, but true.
