Hi everyone,
Im new to the forum, so "Hi" from me. It looks like this is a really helpful and lively forum - there is certainly a good friendly vibe here.
I have a Silvia at home and a Sunbeam EM0480 burr grinder (I know - there are better out there) and make mostly lattes. Living out of town its not easy for us to have fresh beans on hand but we try to get new beans every month. Were pretty happy with the Silvia. My daughter works part time at a cafe and can make a pretty decent cup, and she has pronounced the Silvia OK. Still looking longingly at a laScala Butterfly though!
At work I use an aluminium 2 cup stovetop on an old electric stove, and having read the brewmethods guide and a few of the posts here I seem to be doing most things right. However Im not sure of the grind I should be using. For the Silvia I use a grind setting of 4 on the Sunbeam, but Ive been using a coarser grind than that for the stovetop, although Im not sure that is the best way to go.
What do you guys suggest?
thanks,
neil.
