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

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"
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

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

How not cheap is not cheap for one of those vanrootn? Don't need a grinder.
