Were seriously considering the new Breville 900, as it offers features which are likely to get us making coffee at home again. Bought a great little Gaggia Carezza many years ago, but its had very little use due to the difficulties of making more than 2 coffees quickly enough and consistently etc.
BTW its been quite educational reading the many posts here on the new 900. Personally weve had excellent service from all our Breville appliances, and wouldnt hesitate to spend those $s on this unit, even if unproven.
Any way, we do have a reasonable grinder that meanwhile has also been sitting around doing very little, which we picked up here a few years ago. Its a tweaked Rancilio Rocky DL (with the burr carrier stabilisation with teflon and a stepless mod) in excellent condition.
Would I be correct is assuming the Rocky would be a suitable quality grinder to match the 900? How would it compare to the Breville Smart grinder? Also what grind setting would be recommended, if anyone has used one with a 900? Thanks all.
