if you're a coffee nut

Post by dilligaf »

There are good deals on the Breville Smart Grinder at the moment. Under $250 delivered. Usual retail is $300

http://www.e61.com.au/breville-smart-grinder/

I got mine cheaper from

http://www.talkcoffee.com.au/home/

but you need 10 posts on CoffeeSnobs to get the cheap price.

Looks to be as good as the Rancilio Rocky but 1/2 the price. Close to choking my machine and I can still grind finer.
(Can get shims from Breville if its not fine enough for you)

If you're not a coffee nut this is all meaningless.

If you ride a Ducati its the thing that makes the whirring noise before they bring you your low fat soy mugachino

Yep, Marty I WAS culturally ignorant of the mugacino until the day I ordered a capaccino in a mug at PITS, we were all gas bagging and then the waiter brought over my drink and it went something like this:

"Muggacino" "Muggacino"

Walked away.

"Isn't that yours Tim?"

"Nah, I ordered a cappacino in a mug" :lol: :D



Oh yeah, dilligaf. We make espresso coffee at home, but can't be bothered grinding our own beans it's enough work cleaning the damn machine....... I clean that damn thing more than my bike :lol:

I've got a nice little KRUPS machine that can use ESE pods.
I don't make enough at home (a double-shot in the morning) to warrant grinding my own - the ESE pods make it easy.
Oh and a stand-alone milk-frother - don't have to worry about getting the steaming just right
If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.
Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.
