So I'm trying to get to grips with my Europiccola and I'm making slow progress, but awesome considering my circumstances (still waiting on stuff to arrive, so tamping with soy sauce bottle, foaming milk with giant pyrex jug etc).
Can any one recommend a coffee/grind/supplier that sell a coffee that's ground just right for this machine that I could use so that I can discount coffee/grind from the list of variables I'm jugging while I'm learning? So far all I've got to work is a tin of Illy Espresso from the supermarket. I tried a couple of others, but they were too coarse I think and no matter how much I tamped, I couldn't get the pull to last more than a couple of seconds.
