Ok I've started drinking coffee
why well I have discovered it takes the same amount of time as tea but if its a espresso type less time to drink because the small shot cools more quickly so suits me.
So I'm looking at a setup that I can make espresso and if I have a few guests nock up a moka pot of coffee.
For making espresso I'm looking at a la pavoni pro lever machine because I have used £10,000 commercial bean to cup machines and they are a PITA if they go wrong and I've seen a fair few go U/S. The la pavoni is very simple design (less to go wrong I maybe able to fix my self) and as for a grinder a kitchenaid pro line artisan grinder because I have used kitchenaid mixers and even the baby ones are built like brick out houses.
I have also read on line that the kitchenaid grinder can be modded to become step less (I'm not sure what that means) and the Burrs can be changed with some drilling and tapping to those of a mazzer grinder which I hear are very good machines but cost mega bucks.
So what do you guys think to this set up.
I think is gives me something to play with.
