I upgraded from a Botticelli to a Giotto several weeks back and although the coffee has improved, its still a very hit-and-miss process. Two good, two average and one crap in every 5 coffees.
Some dividend cheques are burning a hole in my pocket and upgrading my Rocky grinder to a Mazzer/Macap etc is now on the cards. I want to be able to make not just good, but excellent coffee, and to repeat this with minimal effort. And I also want less mess.
Im finding the puck is messy - a lot of creep up the sides of the portafilter, which never happened with the Botticelli. The puck is also often angled, even when tamped flat. So I end up with coffee grinds surrounding the group head - a PITA to clean with the Giottos smallish dript tray.
So if I want better coffee thats easier to male, is a grinder upgrade the way to go, or are my skills too inadequate?

), otherwise, youd never achieve consistency, therefore excellence.
