Posted Sun Feb 2, 2003, 5:44pm Subject: I'll tell you how important a good grinder is
This has been said here a hundred (probably more) times. Well, I gotta say it just once more.
I was having some real challenges getting a good cup of espresso at my house. I had tried different blends, adjusting the grind (on my cheapie grinder), and everything else I could think of to avoid spending the money for a good grinder.
Well, as most of us know, none of that stuff works. You have to have a good grinder. There's no other way.
Furthermore, with my Rocky now grinding my Sumatra/Brazilian blend just right, I'm getting great shots from my little one hundred dollar machine. I'm sure they will get better when Silvia gets here next week.
Moral: a good grinder can make even a barely passable machine do pretty wonderous things.
