Thirded. I got a Porlex Mini grinder from creamsupplies and it's bloody brilliant. Great grind, and the design means you can tip straight into the portafilter. Makes smashing shots with my Gaggia Classic.
I'm making a portafilter pressure gauge for my Classic if anyone is interested by the way. I'm going to set the OPV to get the pressure correct, finally.
On the subject if beans currently, I've been using Monmouth's Espresso Blend, Brasilian Santo, and one of the Kenyans. All are fantastic and easy to get a good shot from.
I'm going to re-evaluate Square Mile's new version of Red Brick as I had one bag which was sour as hell. It's a lighter roast, and I don't think I did it justice (it was very easy to underextract).
