Isomac Macinino. Stepped grinder which I went a full step finer (4 to 3) compared to the Domus I was grinding for previously. Going to try another full step (3 to 2) tonight, see what happens then.

Ok please don't kill me, but I just can't read the whole thread now.

 

Quick question - is there a good small coffee machine available that gives you the option to change quickly between caffeine or decaf? Not nespresso or something like that, but with beans.
