Domestic Baby Grace from Grimac

Postby benoit » Tue Jul 13, 2004 10:00 pm

Bought brand new on Ebay as an entry level, great for the price: solid plastic molding with stainless steel. Look poor Italian design but a brass boiler of 200ml, 2 mighty portafilter, vibration pump, 3 litres tank...

happy, very satisfied, at least more serious than my first machine: Krups Vivo

But I pushed it and pushed it to the max with 20-30 espresso a day...24/7!!!

I read too much of coffeegeek reviews and comments!!!
and left it on, like the Pros with their big brass or copper boiler...
24/7 poor Baby Grace!!!

Of course,
my first real darling died after six months of heavy duty use on my house restoration site.

The spiral electrical element (90x45mm copper, two terminals at 10mm across thread) is in my hand now, tiny little thing... but it ain't easy to get a replacement in the UK.

Phoned Ricambi in Italy, they laughed of course I'm too small for them, do not touch domestic...
LondonEspresso charges me £62 for a replacement, the lovely Mauricio told me: sorry Benito, hey, this is expensive...

Any Grimac contact for domestic Baby Grimac

I called them, send emails to all their department, but my Baby Grace is a domestic and not a big Pro one.

I think I will fly cheaply on EasyGo to Venice, enjoy a mad rejuvenating walk for few days and I will have a swim to Grimac headquarter
