Shame about the 'tache...
Seems quite a faff to get a cup of coffee.
Yes, I've seen that one, ta. Mine wasn't £56 though, it was 30€.
Trouble is, daughter "borrowed" my cone grinder a while back.
Re faff, agree. Purpose of this one is to make coffee for guests - beats a floor show and saves my good espresso for those who appreciate it (me). Pulling 8 espressos on the trot means that by the time you get to your own the first to get theirs have finished and are straining for the next one. 16 cups later the stocks look decidedly sad and my back hurts like hell. With this thing I can make a litre at a time and pretend that because it makes disgusting noises it's good.
BTW, the article arrived today and the book of words says "coarsely ground" so I guess I have to swear at it.
