SOLD : Elektra Nino Grinder (UK)

Postby EricC » Fri May 09, 2014 8:24 am

Regreatably I have decided to sell my Elektra Nino Grinder which is in absolutely mint condition and probably has not even had enough coffee through it to season the burrs.

This is the second Nino I have owned and is the very latest incarnation of this grinder. I re-purchased it because it is in my personal opinion the best Titan Grinder for home use out there due to its relatively low retention and only the need for a 1 second purge if it has not been used for an hour or so. It is just over 1 year old, purchased 02/04/2013, so it still has 1 year warranty remaining.

It comes complete with everything that it arrived with when new and also includes an additional hopper, a custom Borosillicate glass tube that holds about 100 grams. I will include a tamper to sit on top of any beans.

I am asking £1200

Would prefer local pick-up so that you can try before you buy, plus it is very heavy. i am located in South Liverpool.

Please PM me if you are interested.

Thanks for looking.

Best Regards
Eric

I decided I needed a bit of a change so I roasted some Monsooned Malabar. That was a change!

Thank you kindly, Eric. I guess I would say that this last year was not one that I would like to repeat, but I'm back to being my old cantankerous self again. :D.

Hi Olaf,
I had not realised that you had posted here, apologies for my extremely late response. :oops:
As I said in our direct e-mails

" My Nino, both of them, I sold the first one because i wanted something a little smaller and bought a Mazzer Kony E. The second one i have just recently sold basically for a couple of reasons, one, i have always wanted to try a Compak K10 Pro Barista, which i now have, and two, my wife thought that the Nino was just too large which i suspect was not helped by the size of the base and the colour of it."

The Nino is indeed a beast with its original hopper, and not in a good way.

I bought the boroscilicate glass tube here …………………

http://www.dixonglass.co.uk

This is what I bought ……….

" the 65/2.2 tubing. T/65/2.2 100mm long will be £3.60 each. Price excludes carriage and VAT."


All the best
Eric
