Great little machine, don't believe the negativity!

I read so much negative stuff about this before buying that I have to post this after more than a month of use. I'm making beautiful (ie. delicious) espressos and cappuccinos with this and my Ascaso Dream. I use the next to finest setting for a double shot. The finest setting might work for a single shot, not quite sure since I understand it is advisable to make double shots all the time - they just turn out better. I've had no issues with it at all. Yes, sometimes the beans don't flow into the grinder, but a single up and down shake does the trick.

The serious coffee snobs say you have to spend as much on the grinder as on the coffee machine. Well, yes... This depends on your preferences. I like good coffee, but I'm not buying a grinder for over 300 €. I bought this grinder second hand for 15 €. My coffee is better than ever and better than in most cafés. That's good enough for me.
