Iberital MC2 <a href="http://www.happydonkey.co.uk/hd0866-iberital-mc2-auto.html">from Happy Donkey</a></p> <p>It grinds and dispenses straight into the filter holder, so you don't have any going stale, or over the worktop.</p> <p>Mrs BigJohn likes hers a little weaker than me so I set the dispense so it's 2 grinds for her and 3 for me. The grind settings can make it as fine or as coarse as you like. You tend to alter this with different beans which tend to grind differently. </p> <p>A 100% improvement over pre-ground, and absolutely no faff or drawbacks.</p> <p>£137 plus postage, and their own beans are rather good too.</p> <p>And the machine I use is a Gaggia Classic. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/coffee-grinder#post-2865834 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 08:35:54 +0000 JonEdwards 2865834@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I picked up a Mazzer Super Jolly from Ebay. Ditch the hopper and put the beans straight in the top.</p> <p>I've also had:-<br /> Dualit(also *$ rebranded) - pretty damn good for filter/stovetop (with a bit of tweaking), not up to proper espresso machines.</p> <p>Isomac Granmacino. Great little machine - dispenses straight into the portafilter, but the grind adjustment is stepped, and each step is too big an adjustment. The mazzer is not actually much better given it's 3 times the size, but it does have stepless adjustment.</p> <p>Used with a Gaggia Classic, although I'm looking to upgrade that soon(ish).</p> <p>The grinder is WAY more important than the machine for making good coffee. Has to be burr based. The blade ones just mash the beans, and all too often overheat them too. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/coffee-grinder#post-2865085 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 21:12:38 +0000 iDave 2865085@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I had a fantastic wall mounted, hand cranked burr grinder given to me by my Mum, now languishing in an ex's shed in Harrogate but the need for the grinder is not as great as the need to avoid contact with her.
