I am new to the forum so I thought I might share my excitement as I picked up my first expresso machine on Friday along with the grinder. After following the discussion here and elsewhere, boring my wife with fascinating facts about tamps and portafilters I settled on the Sunbeam 6910 and a 480 grinder.
The weekend was an experience for all as I used 4L+ of milk and 500g+ of beans. Most of the family couldnt sleep after the caffeine dosing they received.
I am getting reasonably consistent shots and am still fiddling with the tamp. I didnt realise the "science" involved!
Instant coffee just doesnt cut it any more.
