Hi, first post on here. I'm looking at getting in to the world of Coffee after years of thinking all coffee tasted of cigarettes (That's instant coffee for you..)
I've had a look on the main site at the suggested Espresso grinders and machines but they all seem to be discontinued or unable to purchase in the UK.
I don't really want to end up messing about with american plug adapters etc so I was wondering if anyone had any advice for a good espresso grinder and machine in the region of £100.00 each? I'm looking for a machine that can do several shots of espresso (Not sure if such a thing exists) and if possible has a milk frother.
I have read all through the guides and I'm just a bit confused as to what I need and it seems like some machines hat say they are for espresso grinding have got reviews that say they are no good and it's a bit conflicting.
If anyone can help a confused wannabe Coffee drinker in need I'd really appreciate it!

welcome to our little corner of the planet, I hope you find the environment enjoyable enough to tip your chair, rest your feet and enjoy the coffee you're looking forward to while you partake your idles.
I'm afraid I'm on the other side of the pond, and since you're looking for a guide-on in the UK I'll let them find you and lead you right. Don't be afraid to look through the lens of Updated topics, as it will point you to the recent posts and flame wars / rave fests of the day. This might help you understand the nature of the modern and no so ~ equipment out there which people are living with.
