Hi Guys
Ive been lurking for about a week now an this new found obsession is really messing up my study schedule for uni ;D
So, I bought a sunbeam cafe crema for my dad this fathers day so fresh out the box Sunday.
First thing Ill have to do I think is get an unpressurized basket and a good tamper, he already had a c-mill grinder but we havent used it yet, got a pre ground bag to start with but I think its a bit fine. he managed two explosive shots, and I got two ok and one awful :s
Neither of us could foam milk like the guy on the DVD but I guess thats practice.
So I guess all I want to ask is where should I go from here? Im going to pick up some merlo private blend beans from uni and hopefully a basket on an auction site Im not sure if Im allowed to name?
Thanks for listening to my confused noob rabble

just for the record when I said I got reground coffee I mean that I went to a roaster and bought a bag of beans that the nice lady ground for me then and there but that was only because I dont think the grinder I have will be of much use for espresso... Have to wait for Christmas for the 480
