this thing here is mostly a rant as I'm a bit p**sed holding a package from espressoparts.co.uk in my hands and again finding out that an item that was suppose to be something else was sent instead. I mean how hard it is to put together a small package with spare parts??!!
More than a week ago I ordered some stuff from EP UK and the main item I was after was a double manometer for my Elektra. It's nothing fancy, simply two dials, a white scale plate with 'Elektra' written on it and some numbers. I need one because the original one that came with the machine is a bit broken and only half of it works. So looking at the prices and comparing them to the US I thought 'well I'm better off buying stuff here' and I placed an order. Afterwards I confirmed that it's indeed a silver Elektra manometer and started waiting for it as they didn't have it in stock and had to order it.
So today I get the package I open it up and it's indeed a double manometer, but not an Elektra one. It's by a company called Orman and of course this means that it won't look good on the machine, it's not original and simply it sucks big times. This also means that AGAIN I got something else than I wanted (got a different silicone hose than I wanted last week) and I will have to send it back (probably not getting all of my money back). On top of that I would've never placed that order if it wasn't for that damn manometer and I would've probably bought something from the US.
So to sum it all up: Grrrr!! and I'm still without a working manometer, I'm mad and I have to buy stuff from the US anyway.
