    Re: Newbie - Confused on Upgrade Path from Via Venezia to Silvia or Beyond?!?

    I think the *$ & Solis burr set grinders in general were at their limit to get fine enough for espresso and quickly got worse with wear.  There were some mods (eg. http://www.kwilson.fsnet.co.uk/grinder_tweaks.htm) but why loose the opportunity to upgrade

        Thanks to all who responded to my original post.

        Haven taken all in and researched the wealth of knowledge within CS forums, and beyond and ended up with a dream package.

        Thanks to Chris at Talk Coffee for all of the great advice, great service, great patience and of course a great deal that has resulted me in being the proud owner of a VBM Super Lever & Macap M4 Grinder.  A fantastic bit of kit and whilst have a lot to learn and a lot to tweak Ive already made the first 2 of the best coffees Ive had by a long shot  (cheesy pun intended ), since parting ways with my previous gear...and the Starbucks (almost a 4 letter word around here!) coffee :

        Thanks all, no doubt I be calling on you in coming weeks as I get my grind, dosage and variables sorted!  

        Ill post some pics of my new kit in the hardware forums...
