What's your machine, grinders, roaster, tamper, beans etc etc

You know the drill.... so my setup:

Machine: ECM Giotto, currenty running a 22g backet 
Grinder: Gaggia MDF - not all that happy with it, but it's OK.
Roaster: Currently Rio Coffee, Adelaide (until Paul, Alex etc at Mecca get it sorted)
Tamper: who knows, generic 58mm flat based
Beans: Mecca's house roast

Been fighting the overwhelming urge to buy a machine.
When I get one it's all over.
I'd never leave the house.

If I was to become housebound what grinder and machine should I get?

Depends on your budget.

I would think a Sunbeam paul bassett grinder and a Rancilio Silvia would be more than a decent start. I would think you'd be set up with that (inc accessories) for under $1k.

Machine: Bialetti stove top espresso pot
Grinder: Mazzer Mini !
Roaster: St Ali
Tamper: not necessary
Beans: St Ali espresso blend

raw organic sugar, full cream milk

[Super T.I.B]

International Roast, milk, sugar, hot water.

That's gonna give Nick a heart attack and Rob to say, yep, that's what I drink.

International roast tastes heaps better than some of the coffee coming out of espresso machines around Sydney

This is more like it - good thread this one!

Machine: Bezzera BZ99S (14g single basket)
Grinder: Mini Mazzer - The best!
Roaster: I wish!
Tamper: SS 58mm flat based with wooden handle
Beans: Morgans and Don Adam (Sometimes Danes)

I would also love a lever pull Electra one day as well!

At work I have a trusty old Sunbeam that has no steaming power so I have to microwave the milk co:: But it still tastes fine

I have an old Turkish woman down at the corner cafe which is only 4 doors down. She only knows how to make coffee with milk. Latte, Flat white, Cappuccino, its all the same exept for the chocolate sprinkles, but its a mean one and I don't have to clean up  wt:

Who can recommend a good "coffee" machine to make good skim Chai Latte?   co::

Don't do coffee but love my Chai..... 

[monstermick58]

Jeez Super, I must be a bbit more up-market than you,

Nescafe, boiling water from the old kettle, and lots of milk.

Or as I like to say, 'Hot black coffee with cold white milk'.

Works a charm! :bang
