Florence, 1927. A small workshop, a big idea: espresso machines should be built to be repaired, not replaced.
Nearly a century later, La Marzocco is still hand-assembling machines in Italy. The same engineering sits behind countless great cafés around the world. And you can now bring a piece of it home.
Start with the grinder. The La Marzocco Pico is a compact home espresso grinder designed to sit beside a Linea Micra or Linea Mini, and it makes the most of whatever machine you pair it with. Great espresso starts with the grind, and Pico gives you a beautiful one.
We stock the La Marzocco range here in South Africa, from home grinders to full commercial machines. Flexible payment options are available, and delivery covers the whole country.

Your shower screen is dirtier than you think. 👀
Coffee oil bakes onto your group head and goes rancid. You can’t see it, but you can taste it: a bitter edge on every shot.
Meet the JoeFrex Cleaning Steam Brush. It connects to your steam wand with a 60 cm silicone hose, and your machine’s own steam pushes out through the bristles while you scrub. The steam softens the baked-on oils and the stainless steel brush lifts them away. No chemicals, just steam and a couple of minutes.
✔ Cleans shower screens, group gaskets, group heads and portafilters
✔ Adapters included to fit most steam wands
✔ Spare brush head in the box
✔ Made by JoeFrex, the German barista-tool specialists
Best on heat exchanger, dual boiler and commercial machines with a strong steam supply. Not sure if yours qualifies? WhatsApp us and we’ll advise.
R1,098. Delivered anywhere in South Africa.
📞 WhatsApp: 060 448 9876
⚠️ Steam is extremely hot. Hold the brush by its body, keep it pointed away from people, and disconnect it after every use.

Unboxing the Timemore Black Mirror Dot Smart Coffee Scale ☕
No screen. Smaller than a coaster. And it tells you more about your brew than most scales five times its size.
The Dot is just 80 × 80 × 14 mm and weighs about 50g. Your phone becomes the display over Bluetooth, showing live weight, time and flow rate through the Timemore app. It also saves your recipes and brew history.
📦 In the box: the scale, a silicone cover, a travel case and a manual.
✔ Reads to 0.1g, so it’s precise enough for espresso
✔ Pour-over and espresso modes
✔ Fits on a drip tray where a normal scale won’t
✔ USB-C rechargeable, around 180 five-minute brews per charge
Perfect for tight counters, travel kits, V60 and AeroPress, or anyone who likes brew data.
R960. Delivered anywhere in South Africa.

☕ Coffee School Wednesday
Your espresso tastes wrong, but you can’t say why. Let your tongue tell you what to change.
Sour, sharp, a bit salty? That’s under-extraction. The water ran through too fast. Grind finer.
Bitter, dry, harsh on the finish? That’s over-extraction. The water lingered too long. Grind coarser.
Start with a simple recipe: 18g of coffee in, 36g of espresso out, in roughly 25 to 30 seconds. That’s your baseline, not a rule.
Then follow three habits:
1️⃣ Change only ONE thing at a time. Grind first, always.
2️⃣ Make small adjustments, one notch on the grinder.
3️⃣ Weigh everything and taste after every shot. Write it down.
Fresh beans change too. A bag that dialled in perfectly last week may need a small tweak this week. That’s normal, and it’s part of the craft.
Dialling in is a skill, not a mystery. Ten shots in, you’ll start to feel it.
Stuck? WhatsApp us on 060 448 9876 and we’ll help you troubleshoot.

Small footprint. Serious grind.
The Eureka Mignon Specialità is the grinder that quietly upgrades a home espresso setup. It’s made in Florence by a family that has been building grinders since 1920. A 55mm flat burr set and stepless micrometric adjustment let you dial in by tiny fractions, instead of jumping between fixed steps.
It’s also quiet, compact, and fast to clean. That’s why it ends up beside so many good home machines.
Pair it with a PID machine and you’ve removed two of the biggest variables in your shot.
From R12,420 in matte black or white (chrome from R13,280). Delivered anywhere in South Africa. Questions? WhatsApp 060 448 9876.

Weekend mode: activated 🚀☕
Everyone’s talking about a certain roadster that flips… but espresso machines have been doing lift-off for years. 😏
OK, this one’s AI, but the steam power is real. A proper commercial espresso machine has the steam pressure to texture silky milk, cup after cup, all weekend long.
