Toshiba HCD-850 Owner's Guide Book - 2007/02/14 12:06I can upload the Owner's Guide Book, (also another user booklet), one page at a time, if anyone is interested and this meets with the Admin's approval. Here are a couple of samples from the Guide Book, resized to 300x400:
I came across this forum while searching for a Brew Basket for my Toshiba HCD-850. Poster Keith Klippstein mentioned Pacific Coast Parts Distributors (www.pacparts.com). They list one for $16.06, but show it "NOT IN STOCK". That site looks to be a very good resource.
That is a bit pricey for me anyhow. I cracked mine slightly, enough to leak, while banging it to get the old grounds out. It repaired OK using a clear adhesive & I think I can nurse it along with additional applications as they are needed.
This machine is still working great, btw, after 20+ years!

Re:Toshiba HCD-850 Owner's Guide Book - 2007/02/21 09:15Well, I have to give tribute to your fine website. There seems to be good karma here. Though not a coffee aficionado, I really enjoy espressos, doctored-up to my liking. [I won't say how much 'Very Vanilla' soy milk & honey I use, lest I get stoned for coffee heresy.]
I have benefited often from information shared by others that I have found online - way too many times to count - from software & computer tips to how to prepare rutabagas. Within minutes, after discovering your site, I found a post that referenced a supply house where I might, if I want to spend the money, purchase a part for an obsolete machine made over 20 years ago. That is pretty amazing!
It would only be right that I offer my modest contribution.
We need to show each other a little love, right brah?!

P.S. I saw your last reply too late to catch the PODCAST. Did you make me famous? Does a cash prize go along with your thoughtful acknowledgement?

The Breville was my first machine. It has been a good machine no complaints. When you are ready, move up but you did not make a mistake. I can make a Mocha that will bring tears to your eye's with min...

Yea... it's been a headache, and that is understated, to say the least. Tonight, one of their reps came by to look at the machine and offer me some solutions. He was very nice. He actually said for th...
Saeco Incanto, in general, is garbage. We've had ongoing problems with ours (that you can see at the web link in my profile).
Have you had the machine serviced at all? Or just a call to ask if the...
Based on all the discussion and reviews, I am looking to buy either the 8 cup or the 12 cup model. Since the physical size of the units (other than the pot, of course) seems to be exactly the same, i...
Since you've posted in the $400 I'd say return the Breville and get a single boiler machine.
In this price range you can easily get an entry level Saeco or Gaggia, or a lesser known name like Moki...

I enjoy espresso and latte and decided (admittedly on a whim) to purchase an entry level machine. I went out and bought a Breville Cafe Roma last night. THEN I did some reading and now I am question...
