To try to make our coffees more consistently delicious, we’ve taken the plunge and bought a pair of “grind on-demand” coffee grinders for our shops. What a difference already! Not only do they drop a perfect dose of gound espresso beans into the group head each time (over-packing is a huge cause of burning and bitterness in coffees), but they are much more silent and seem to grind up an incredibly tasty shot.
It should also cut down greatly on waste. Highly recommended (so far) for anyone in the business…
wow sounds wonderful must make it to Kerry again soon
It looks like a lovely machine, and if it helps make consistently awesome coffee I can totally understand why it would be your new best friend. 🙂
Do you use your spent grounds for compost?
sooo jealous!! Must look into it!
Shiela – we should really do that. I’ve heard it makes great compost, and although I don’t have a green thumb at all, I’m sure there would be someone quite happy for it…
Im so upset! You get all these cool toys the first summer in 4 that Im not working for you! And I missed the taste of Dublin! Very sad 🙁 Looks great machine though, looking forward to my weekend coffee visit already!
