Good or great espresso machines? Let the arguing begin!

stepless, too?


Hmmmmm.

BTW, I don't currently position my grinder under a cabinet.

Wow ... that new Tranquillo does look sexy!

I also like the squat bulldog look - it reminds me of Mike's Cimbali Junior (and of Mike too, if the truth be told!).

Hmm ... looks like it is much lighter ... 6 kilos?  It was 22 pounds. 

I wonder if the new sexy look is an attempt to hide the change of steel to plastic?

Hmm ... I remind you of a squatting Bull Dog ... along with my grinder?

I have one, rebranded Astra... it's a decent grinder.  Certainly not a commercial grinder, but does the job.

I've been trying something new learned from a very respected poster on another forum. As the bean ages, updose slightly (~1/2 gram) instead of adjusting the grind. It works for me as well or better than grinding finer.

 Anyone here ever tried this?

I do it all the time.

Are we still talking about the squatting bulldog?

Is $125 a good price for a Nuova Simonelli AMF grinder?

No, but you are. ;-)

If small in stature and capable of good grinding is your thing, this will fit under any cabinet. It's how I have my grinder configured (hopper removed), I put in my required dose of beans, put my Reg Barber on top of them (it fits in perfectly) to keep the beans from chipping up too much and turn the grinder on.

Awesome!

I saw the "I do it all the time" quote and thought... yeah Violent Femmes, then right away headed off to find the video. You had apparently beaten me to it.

Here's what I came back with only to find you were waaaaay ahead of me. ;-)

Looking at the Cunill site, the rated power of the motors are different for the different models.

Tranqillo = 270 W
Brasil = 275 W
Marfil = 356 W
Uganda = 325W
Movie = 497W

So, I am guessing they each have different motors. Other than the Tranquillo, they are stepless.
