        What if you like how it tastes with sugar? Wouldn't that be a good enough reason? Isn't that why we do all the crazy stuff like weighing doses and home roasting, because we like the taste?

          We sold a white E5 yesterday with a Rocket R58 to a new to home coffee client.

          The client asked for a hand to get things grind into the zone and after the unboxing, I ended up with 10 seconds for an OEM Rocket Espresso naked with triple basket which went with the machine.

          Of the E5/M4D and Fausto, the E5 packs the quickest grind and most comprehensive software. I continue to be impressed by this little powerhouse...

              No, unlike a tiny percentage of our readers, the purchaser has taste

                Hey that's not nice remember our differences is what makes the world a better place, also I took back the E5 and exchanged it for a K3 advanced. I really don't make espresso that often to substantiate the purchase price, plus my wife gave me that evil eye look and told me I have a kid in college.
                So I wait patiently for the arrival of my Compaq K3 advanced in polished aluminum....

                    A white E5 sounds cool. I think a bit later in the year an early Christmas present for myself will be a grinder upgrade (and machine service). At the top of my list so far would be the macap m4d and compak E5. So when the time comes maybe a trip to Northcotte could be planned to make some comparisons.....

                      Looks like a nice grinder, well done.

                        It's all down to personal taste Sam.

                        I know, enjoy and am able to make good coffee.

                        I use a small spoon (approx 3 grams) of sugar in my brew, always have and always will.

                        If you don't like or feel the need for sugar, fine, your choice, please don't assume a lack of knowledge or taste just because others differ.

                        Vive la Difference.

                          Probably sounds weird, but I too use a little sugar in flat whites (Coconut Blossom Sugar) but none in black coffee....

                          As Yelta says, "Vive la difference!"....

                            Shock horror, on a Sunday morning I have been known to put a big spoon of dulce de leche in the jug with the milk for my weekly latte. Might just do it again tomorrow
