I know this is an oldish thread but I thought I would add my 2p.
I bought a Rocky grinder for £185 with free postage from Drury, it arrived very promptly, rather nicely packed using a lots of old coffee sacks as packaging. I have gone on to buy my Silvia from them too. The price of £310 included free shipping and free 1Kg bag of coffee beans you can choose at the order screen.
FYI free shipping starts at £25.
The courier company they use is a cut above too. I was out when the delivery took place and rather than run away as fast as possible (a la Citylink) the courier made the effort to phone me and ask about delivery alternatives. I asked for it to be left at a neighbors and received a second call to confirm.

Hi, just so you know we still view our old posts lol i thought id reply.
Well, i got a Expobar Oficce Pulsar from bellabarista i think it was ! I couldnt fault the whole purchase :)
Im using the rocky grinder on its finest setting. As far as coffe beans are concerned ive tried a few and at the moment Danski put me onto
outstanding service, the owner reiss has taken the time to call me to see what i thought, experimented on his roast and then sent another sample to check the difference.
There are a few note worthy roasters in the UK, and we all have our trusted suppliers, and i think ive found mine......i know ive found mine ! I tried several other fresh roast suppliers one loacl to myself (cheaper and i can collect). But id rather spend the extra, get a good flavour and impress my wifes friends :)
Im going to post a review on a seperate post when i get my next pack of 5 bags. Not to advertise, but hey, praise where its due. dennis
