Re: Iberital review
It certainly seemed like a great shop. I was really happy when I walked in and saw that they roasted their own beans too - however I think Ciscos (formerly called Santos) on Chapel st will give them a run for their money! In terms of Coffee expertise (i.e. all about the bean and roasting etc...), Fred Gomo from Ciscos is the most knowledgable person I have ever spoken to. He used to do an annual radio show on Triple RRR (in Melbourne) with the DJ Hedly late at night - it was a great show.
So for those of us in the Metro suburbs of Melbourne, we have a couple of great places nearby to buy freshly roasted beans: Coffee Company, and Ciscos. Anyone got any other places theyd recommend?
Also, thanks for the comments on the grinders! I have made my decision and will go with an Iberital Challenge doserless grinder. I had a look at the doser version but it seems that the doser is *extremely* el-cheapo. Even the Gaggia MDF doser is crap. So ill go doserless.
Now I just need to build a table to put the machine and grinder on. The 45 year-old flat that wifee and I rent has hardly any bench space! Putting the Silvia and grinder on the bench will take up over 33% of the available bench space....
