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.

Well, the problem is you shouldn't put leaf tea in it!

Forget machines. Nothing can beat a Moka pot (standard here in Spain) or French press - we provide both for our guests.

Forget machines because they break down
However when working that bean to cup made the best, almost switched alliance
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
