Right, I have a Gaggia Classic, picked up from here, tamper, beans and I thought I was ready to go when I picked up a Sboly burr grinder but, oh no, under no circumstances will this do - I've got to drop at least a weeks wages on an appropriate grinder suitable for espresso!!
Is this the coffee equivalent of 'nothing less than Ultegra will do' or will the Sboly be suitable on the finest grind settings....I understand buying pre-ground is also a no-no....Is my flirtation with 'proper coffee' over before it even started?....I can't afford to drop 100 odd quid on a suitable grinder quite frankly!
