Espresso: La Pavoni Europiccola;... Grinder: Baratza Vario Drip: Bodum 3-cup press
Posted Tue Aug 17, 2010, 7:23am Subject: Re: Espresso Shrines
So my refurbished Baratza Vario finally arrived, which means that my Europiccola (and my arm, sore from many a manual grind) has been redeemed.
As of now I'm narrowing out a decent fine-ness from it, and it dispenses the grinds in a very convenient pellet form! Not a fault of the grinder, I hope, and more the result of using fairly old-roast beans. It's a shame that I can't find any local roasters (all the more reason to begin home-roasting).
I'm thrilled though, the first shot has definitely exceeded the results of my crank grinder. The vintage EP and the Vario have basically been my dream setup since I started planning for all this.

Very nice setup man! Do you know your cup tray Guard is backwards? Or do you prefer to have it that way?
