    Re: Recommend me a machine

    I bought a Sunbeam grinder for work and a few weeks later got myself an MDF.
    I use the MDF now.
    Its cleaner, quieter, faster and doesnt leave heaps of coffee behind in the chute like the Sunbeam did.

      If you keep reading through the threads here, over and over the advice is to get the best quality grinder you can, and to me the 6910 would produce better coffee if you used a better grinder, especially if people are saying it is producing sour shots.
      This is true. My Super Jolly does improve the coffee from my EM6910 - but that comes at serious cost. :-) But the sourness is still a little there - but still quite acceptable and improvements were made when using the SJ.

        agree with both Lucinda and Marc...
        since i have Ms Carimali doing the grind-and-bump on my beans, the Botts coffee is consistently better, rounder, more viscous, not sour, just generally great!
        when i had Mr Rocky i managed to get the occasional god-shot and only if the temperature & humidity in the bus didnt fluctuate too much, otherwise i was chasing my tail the whole day.
        Ms Carimali produces grinds which are more even, i suppose, and possibly the solidity of her build makes her less impervious to those atmospheric conditions.

        even though i was lucky enough to procure ms Carimali for a ridiculously low price from one of the Cash-diddlers stores, her performance has now totally convinced me that a great grinder can produce great coffee with just about any machine or plunger...
        whereas the reverse is probably not the case!

        if i had to start again with my round of research and purchases, i would go for the best grinder i could possibly afford, and couple it with a plunger and stove-top, later to be complemented by a machine, once funds allowed.
