Coffee Appreciation

:(

i thought it sounded like a set-up, a trap, a sting.

That's caffeine-induced paranoia.

Wayne: I just bought a Gaggia Classic like yours. I might keep the Baby Class for spares.

People out there have cheap home grinder suggestions?

I don't drink and ride.

How much?

£150 with light use

I use mine to make coffee not as a lampstand…

starts off with boiling water in the stovetop…

I thought someone would make a joke about flicking switches, bulbs or such. I commend you on thinking outside the Ly-chester Square.

Nice.

No stove tops for me. It's all about the (faulty) espresso machine collection I'm building.
One day I'll get one that makes a coffee! :)

Hippy - I'm using a dualit burr grinder until funds are released for a better grinder

Nice.

There's some more on ebay at the moment, including a pickup-only from Woking you might get cheap (if you can stand going near Woking ;)).

Can you uses stove tops on an electric hob?

We got a new Classic last year in the sales.

FWIW, between me and Anna we blew up the boiler in a Vice-Versa, and killed 2 Krups Vivos before we decided to buy a decent machine.

Can you use stove-tops on an electric hob?

No reason why not, and the handles melt just as easily on an electric hob as on a gas.

What's makes a better grinder than the Dualit?
Wanna sell me your Dualit to fund your better grinder? :)

I think he's coveting that Kitchen Aid that VB's got.

Yes. I did.
I use the quick burning plate at the front, set it to 5 and it takes ~6 minutes to 'fire'.

Yours.. (starts at £40)

patience young jedi - I haz my eyez on ebayz

So do I though.. :)

Gotta go commercial FTW. Upgaditis usually takes hold in under 3 months with domestic espresso grinders. At the risk of opening a can of worms, in my own experience I would not recommend the KA for spro.

not much in the way of mazzers at the mo - there was a pavoni grinder I was looking at [was going to ask your opinion about that]
