Ok ive been scouring these forums for a while & through my readings decided to buy a grinder to go with the Gaggia Classic ive had for 2 years - using preground! (sorry)
I got a Sunbeam E0480 looked OK, rated well enough here, good price............But
on the Coarsest setting the coffee choked the Gaggia no matter what i did.
So my local Retra gave me a second one to try
Same thing, set on about 24 the grind was just too fine & not much finer on 5
I even tried some 3 yo beens so not to waste the new stuuf
They ground OK on 20 but i wouldnt drink it! :-/
So that one went back & now Im Grinderless again.
Im thinking of buying
1. Ascaso I2
2. Rocky
3. Compak K3 elite
OR
a NEW machine vis:
1. Lelit Combi
2. Silvia/Rocky
3. ?? suggestions ??
I only make 4 cups a day, 2 morning 2 Arvo so its it bit hard to justify $1200
but only a bit!
Thanks. Love the site!!
