Well, my espresso machine came today, and after playing with it for a while I found out that everyone was right--I need a new grinder.

Luckily, 2 cans of ground Lavazza came with it so I was able to enjoy a nice cup.

Nope, went back to the old one which makes a finer grind....works good, though I'd like to taste what the difference is between the blade grinder I'm using with one that can produce a true espresso grind.

Well, I can tell you I tasted a big difference between my whirl and my Infinity Capresso in doing a french press

Man, the espresso machine is one of my favorite purchases this past year. I use it every day, and it pulls a perfect cup every, single time.

Highly recommended!

I have the Cuisinart grinder. Haven't used it for espresso, but works great for regular coffee. Though as others have said, quite loud. After running it, I sometimes find I don't need the coffee anymore to wake up :glassesgr
