Well with a burr grinder you don't have that issue - that's why they are good, everything grinds to the set size. But I do agree about the noise - it's something I hadn't considered, because a hand grinder is relatively quiet. So I shall stop looking for secondhand mini Mazzers on French Ebay! :)

Yes, come to think of it, I've got a burr-grinder, a Bodum which is rather nice, but I've never been able to get the grind right. Maybe I should try again.

Forget machines. Nothing can beat a Moka pot (standard here in Spain) or French press - we provide both for our guests.
If not now, when?

Forget machines because they break down :roll: However when working that bean to cup made the best, almost switched alliance :lol: You need that crema layer, ask any Italian!

Well as my last guests of 2017 are comfortably installed to spend a quite few days seing in 2018 , the vote seems to be to keep the filter coffee machines with my offer of a small pot of freshly ground coffee to welcome them ( as i live on site this is no a problem ) their are so many preferences to what pod/ capsule are best or are personally perfered by each individual guest
With more being added all the time so as all the filter machines are newish and of good quality i will see what 2018 brings and how the machines are being received and maybe re visit this topic in the future
