Hello Danny,
Thanks for your welcome. I just come from Singapore after visit the FHA2010.
If you are interested about Kopi Luwak coffee you can find plenty of info in my site: www.realkopiluwak.com or just ask me directly. Well I hope your business runs good.
Good luck.
Alberto
Thanks Danny. It may be a week earlier than I planned for my next trip over, but I will see if I can speed things up in Singapore with the guy I am working with there.
Hey Danny, when is the National Barista Championship on? I might try and time my next visit with that. I have to head down to NZ and Australia pretty soon, so keep the machine warm for me! The video I have of your barista is only half, but will post it anyway. It shows the nice synergy between modern and traditional coffee making in Singapore.
Hey Danny, seems this visit we are destined not to meet! Nevermind, next time around eh?! Your barista Aswad said I just missed you yesterday. Thanks for the flatwhite, it was up to Geek Terminals normal very high standards. I got some video of Aswad on the Lever so will try and edit and post in the next week.
Hey Danny! Nice to meet you too :) Guess we got to thank Alun for the link! Haha!
Yea, keep in touch! If you are free, you can drop by my office (#03-24 Gourmet East Kitchen) and check out our new show room, very nice and cosy hangout place :D
I'll visit your cafe when I can. For now it's quite hard to make it considering I work from Monday to Saturday and I'm vehicle-less for now. Sigh .So you might want to visit me instead! But your lunch buffet look soooooo enticing! Is it available on Saturday too?
Hey Danny! I am still around, will endevour to drop by this afternoon (Monday) or tomorrow morning. Got side tracked and arrived a bit later than I anticipated.
No worries Danny, will try for today but schedule is a bit tight. Otherwise I will catch you next time I am over. Same for you re the Xmas and seasons best wishes.
Gidday Danny. Dropped by yesterday but you were out. Will try and come by today or (most likely) Wednesday. Loved the Pavoni Lever machine, beautiful and made a great flat white. Left you some coffee... the red pack is Kopi Luwak.
Hey Danny, if you are after tampers, mats etc you could do worse than to email Dom at coffeeparts in Sydney, Australia. They will send stuff up to you for sure. Tell Dom I recommended him (he may give me a discount in future ;p). Their email is info@coffeeparts.com
I am looking for a range of tampers, mats, knock out bins, cup holders etc..Tried Espresso parts and they don't deliver to Sing. Sigh... I am keen to consider distributing to the region (Singapore and Malaysia).

Hey Buddy Let Me Know What Kind of accessories you need.
Hi hI Carlo, thanks for the reply! There's a bit of adjuster at the back where I can control the amount of water. No issue with that.
I also note what you said that there is no backflush. Fantastic! I love the lever machine since the day I started using it. Quality of water in Singapore is excellent. We often drink from the tap here. In fact you would be surprised that Singaporeans diners always ask for water from the tap. This makes the selling of sparkling or still mineral water difficult.
Definitely hope one day to visit Napoli. Heard so much from my other italian friends (from illy) that Napoli is one of the few cities in Italy that still brews coffee with the lever machines. If you are ever in Singapore, please, drop by. Would love to bring you around!
Regards,
Danny

Hi Danny, sorry for replying a bit late; I have had hectic activity in these days. Today is a local holiday in Napoli (St. Gennaro) so I have some time
I think that there is no reason for having such a small amount of espresso out of a whole single shot; maybe You don't wait long enough for the chamber (grouphead) to fill up before releasing the lever, or perhaps the water flow from th boiler to the chamber is reduced by presence of calcium residues.....
Concerning the cleaning of the backflush......there is no need of cleaning just because there is no backflush at all ! The water flows only in one direction from the boiler to the grouphead and then down through the coffee puck to the cup. The piston goes smoothly down untl the spring inside has reached its max exension . So just pay attention to the quality of the water that enters Your boiler and don't let it rest ; use a good softening filter but don't make your water too soft because then the coffee will taste awful.
Clean the basket , the portafilter and the screens. That's all.
Hope to have been able to help, and to meet You some day here in NAPOLI or better (for me) in Singapore.
