    I got myself a porlex mini and have been having pretty good results using Co-op fairtrade espresso beans. I've changed beans now to M and S espresso beans (much nicer) but i now find i am choking my Gaggia Classic. I have not changed the grinder setting or my technique in any way, so my...

    The new Zassenhaus's look like they go for ยฃ80 ish, is there a 1/2 way decent electric for that price maybe? Also, back to a previous question, how long do fresh ground "grounds" stay drinkable compared to fresh roasted beans? Thanks

    Any recommendation for a cheap grinder (and by cheap i mean less than 3 figures) hand powered is fine for now? How long do fresh roasted beans last compared to fresh ground "grounds"?

    First of all, hi everybody. As someone who has spent a lot of time working in Genoa, Italy, i have become mildly addicted to espresso. I purchased late last year a Delonghi machine (1/2 price) which was ok, it had the pressurized PF but made passable espresso, it was particularly good with...
