I enjoy the occasional Cappuccino. I use the Saeco Aroma and grind my coffee with a Braun cheapie non-burr grinder. I am skeptical that a burr grinder can do a noticeably better grind. I used to do it every morning, but lately avoiding coffee for health reasons. I have spent a little time online at some of the espresso aficionados' sites. My son the Barista (who drives a 3-pedal '80 240D) sometimes provides me with nice beans. Most recently we went through a couple of pounds of Casi Cielo which I liked a lot. Also the local Costco has a roaster. The current coffee I like from them is an Indonesian West Papua. Very tasty!

Vintage (1980's?) Quick Mill 025B is not commercial, but it has decent cutting burrs, I think. Search ebay for item 380639095939 for item same as mine, yes I use 220v step-up transformer. I guess I will need to contact quickmill to see if they sell burrs so that I can insure proper fit - shipping is too expensive to mess around with poor fit. If you have resources that you know, please pass them on - thanks. I probably don't do expresso much justice with laPavoni Europiccola and Quick Mill, but... I try to do what I can to enjoy what I pull as espresso, with a tad of half/half for what I have been told is named cortado. What type of espresso equipment do you use? Better yet... for mercedes email group, what mercedes do you drive - I drive 3-pedal 240D 1984. Does anyone else here do espresso? Does anyone else here read home-barista online forums? mao _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
