i is exciting to be working on another iteration of our website

this time most of the changes will be improvements to the administration (back end) as opposite to customer facing changes, but the improves to the back end will greatly improve my ability to serve you

in particular the new shopping cart will mean a lot less customisation of the numerous plugins we will use wlll be necessary

in addition, the response time of the back end of the new shopping cart seems much faster when loaded with out data than what we currently have - this means it will be a lot faster for me to click in and out of your orders and to edit products and part numbers

we also how to add some improvements to the ease with which items like PDFs can be dropped into the site and updated and edited

given that we are going to so much work with the data migration we will take th opportunity to refresh the appearance of the site too

one day on my long list of things to do i will get to the one that says take a video of an end to end walk through of how a londinium lever espresso machine is made - this is a significant piece of work that will require some planning to get everyone in Birmingham at the same time, but i thing the end result will be well worth the effort

From today we are pleased to announce that all LONDINIUM lever espresso machines will be supplied with the LONDINIUM distribution tool & dosing funnel

The tool completely transforms the out of the box ownership experience.  As soon as you have your grinder dialled in for your new LONDINIUM lever espresso machine you will be pulling exceptional shots - there is no other item that will make more of a difference to the quality and consistency of your espresso than the LONDINIUM distribution tool

The machines are also supplied with a 100g tube of Loxeal no.4 silicone grease and one bottomless wenge portafilter per group, i.e. a LONDINIUM III is supplied with three bottomless wenge portafilters

This is today's news, just connected up an hour ago.  We now have the advertised speed for the service of 200mbps down and 20mbps up

Now that we have it up and running i will upgrade our account to a premium service which is sold with an advertised speed of 700-900mbps down and 400-500mbps up

I will let you know when we have this premium service in place

Now please do make use of this service as it is a superb way for me to provide the highest quality of customer service to you

Email is fine for basic yes/no issues, but if you want help with some aspect of your technique or wonder how something 'looks' or indeed any kind of subjective issue, please do use Facetime, or Skype

Just email me to arrange a time that is mutually convenient

if you are dissatisfied with your espresso the LONDINIUM distribution tool is the silver bullet you need

the londinium distribution tool will all but guarantee you a beautiful central pour from your bottomless portafilter on almost every shot

before you rush off and spend a lot of money on a new grinder i urge you to try this tool first as i think you may be pleasantly surprised and save yourself a lot of money

the londinium distribution tool will transform your espresso for the better for grinders at all price points

we also offer a dosing funnel if you do not own one already so you dont send coffee all over your kitchen bench as you use the distribution tool

we are adding the Compak E5 to our offer, and as with the E8 we will stock both 120V and 240V editions, all in matt black and with the LED portafilter fork lights which have proven to be very useful on the E8 and E10 as many users have their grinders in a corner that is often poorly lit

dont make the mistake i made of assuming that because the E5 is a 58mm flat burr grinder that it is simply a Compak K3 in an expensive housing.  the Compak K3 is a grinder i have owned and we ceased to offer it because we dont feel it is a suitable match with our machines

the E5 has a 550W motor instead of the 210W motor on the K3 and you can see from the stated production times that the E5 grinds much quicker than the K3, so given that they both have 58mm flat burrs the pitch of the burrs on the E5 must be much more aggresive that the K3, and this will be why a motor that is more than twice as powerful as the K3 has been fitted

when Compak get around to releasing the PKR to market i will purchase one of those to test too, and assuming it measures up we plan to stock the PKR in 120V and 240V configurations also

Superb.  So good.

ps - i took today off to celebrate, but i will be back on deck tomorrow.
