    Re: Grinder Suggestions?

    The MDF is a terrific grinder when I had one on loan for a few weeks until I got the used commercial Gaggia MG .The Ascaso and La Spaziale grinders from recommended by the site sponsors look like they mean business too!
    I think Ive developed a Grinder and Coffee machine fetish! ;D

        Their definition of perfectionism says it all!

          Damn straight about that. That article is shocking! If they used the Silvia or Sunbeam EM6910 as there test machines, the only grinders that would come out on top would be the Rocky and EM0450.

          Terrible article!

          Oh, and how to do you get good crema out of stale Vittoria beans?? - oh, thats right, Pressurised baskets!

          DOH!!!!! > > > > :

            Its got to the stage now where I dont even want to read anything Choice has to say about anything to do with coffee... They have an appliance mindset which they seem to apply to anything that has an electrical cord hanging out the back and bears very little resemblance to anything approaching methodical research from within the specialist coffee industry. Just makes me angry these days so I dont bother anymore,

              Choice used to be very good and listen to their readers a long time ago. They no longer do. I have found a lot of their comparisons a bit strange lately.

                "Grind button has to be held continuously while grinding."

                This was a Bad Point moted against a couple of the grinders but not the Sunbeam EM0450.
                I have the Sunbeam and it needs the button held continuosly while grinding.
                This shows Choice is less than professional in their testing and documentation of the results.

                  Doesnt the 450 have a switch activated by pushing the PF against the stand (like the 480)? My guess was that the others have a switch elsewhere that you have to press by hand, making grinding a two-handed operation...

                  Hang on, why the hell am I sticking up for choice??
