Re: Machine and grinder for my lovely papa
I did the same thing with one of my Gaggias (either one of my Classics or my Carezza) and my NS MCF at my brother-out-laws birthday a couple of years ago. I went through close to 1kg of beans during the course of the evening. Ive lugged my Carezza to numerous outings with my Lux for smaller gatherings.
Its fine with these machines in an open gathering type environment with coffees being served adhoc but the annoying part is when you are making coffees to serve all at one time (and you are supposed to be playing host and your guests arent coffee snobs/geeks). Its then the slow steaming or ong cycle time makes things frustrating.
The OP will need to judge on his papas likely serving regime to decide if a EM6910/Sylvia/Zaffiro/Picolo (or the current even Gaggia Classic) is suitable.
