Grainfather review after 100 brews

[ITMA]

£250 mmm. I sincerely hope that after 20 brews and just ~8 months old it'll be a straightforward warranty replacement or repair! I'm sure it will be fine. I've not heard anything back after raising the initial support call though...must go and get that sorted now.

You shouldn't have any problem it has a 24 month warranty - https://www.grainfather.com/faq

Yes it should be ok, the support seems to be very well regarded. Only catch right now is that you have to go through the retailer as a first point of contact and their response has been sluggish to say the least. I'll need to be patient.

Just an update - great support from grainfather (company now called Bevie after rename from imake); I was dreading having to return to base but when I told them I could use a multimeter they got me to do lots of diagnostics which strangely seemed to confirmed all was well with the element, earthing etc.....

...and then we discovered it was just the led (? or bulb) on the main switch at the bottom had blown. so after the initial main board trip, it was working but just didn't look like it. Absolutely no problem with the rest of the system and it works just great without having to faff around with returns!

Double brew day for the next two days. Got to get the production line primed up again!

That’s great news. Chuffed for you.

Just done my sixth brew in mine and I absolutly love it!! I can see why purists would say it's not real beer making as it does take make it easy. Same why bread makers would be disgusted by a bread maker. But I love it.
