New grinder

Ibertal MC2 GrinderI bought a new grinder the other day. It’s an Iberital MC2 and it looks like one the left there, except mine is already covered in coffee grounds :D

It took a little dialling in but now I can draw a really nice looking espresso for my milky drinks. I say it’s a nice looking espresso because it has the crema and wotnot that it should, but I’ve never really tasted a good espresso so I’m not sure how they are supposed to taste. That’s something I indend to fix the next time I visit somewhere like Italy.

The only real complaint I have with the grinder is that it came with the grind setting set right the way to the coarsest setting possible. With the worm gear type adjustment that it has it took ages for me to get it back to an espresso setting, and that had to be done with the machine running because there were beans in there. The instruction manual is also a little on the brief side, but I suppose these things are intended for people who know what they’re doing and people who know what they’re doing tend not to read manuals.

Other than that, I am most happy indeed! I even got a free bag of coffee beans. How generous.
