    I thought about that actually, but couldnt see how to do it...
    If I remember it just pulls out...

    I grind into a tin and then take that to my coffee machine... Works well and lot less mess.

    hey dark syrup, why dont you just remove the metal portafilter holder? it clips on and off so you can replace it whenever you want.

    I know, its not fair, getting great stuff is supposed to satiate the hunger, not fuel it...

    But I am actually pretty happy with the VV. I cant fault anything about it - but I do want to get a proper non-press. pf instead of the modded plastic one, because its too big to fit under the rockys spout with that metal bar there

    The ONLY downside is.... now I am viewing my VV with a disparaging eye...

    Heh heh, she is a great sister. She is probably famous now.

    Measuring the beans using the PF is a great idea! I do grind into a bowl but usually not the right amount. Also stirring the grind is a good tip, thanks.

    I find one notch means the difference between gushing and choking! I need to get a consistent tamp I think - and so begins the adventure.

    Re being awake, so true! Somehow the fresh stuff, that delicious syrup, seems to give you more of a KICK!

    Great idea Greg,
    I too could do with 2nd grinder dedicated to decaf.

    I can feel the excitement...my wife bought me a rocky grinder to match the silvia and it arrived today...yeehah! yup Im excited. It doesnt end there, a workmate bought me in some home grown bourbrn beans, roasted yesterday.... the timing was perfect, got home and unpacked my new toy, ground the fresh beans and poured a shot. Grind was a bit too fine, but whoa! yum yum - wont sleep tonight but it was worth it.
