If so, the absolute minimum grinder for the job is a Rocky, imo.

Last time I checked, they can be found for around $350 and will serve you for many many years.

I cannot rave enough about this grinder.
No regrets at all having dropped what it cost me.

On a somewhat idiotic reasoning side note, I just find it so cool that for the most part, I find that no matter what coffee shop I walk into in Miami, they have a Rancilio machine and a Rancilio grinder. It just reinforces the choice I made.

Not idiotic at all Carlos.

The Rancilio brand has been around for a long time and has past the test of time in the little coffee shops in Miami and other places.

They have been around for a long time and aren't going anywhere, unlike Brasilia USA, which is now bankrupt causing me all kinds of headaches, although I believe their espresso machines to be amongst the best in the world.

Another common appliance I always see in Miami is the machine that slices and squeezes the whole oranges and makes the BEST orange juice.

I wonder if there is room on my counter for one....

You have no idea how many times I have considered one.

Maybe we can split one, buy a panini press, and open a little cafe.....

Cheapest one for a somewhat compact version is $3,500.
Very expensive glass of juice.

I'm lucky in that I have a citrus packing plant a mile from my house and I buy my juice there weekly and am spoiled.

Plus, I bet cleaning that thing is a real pain.

Sorry to get off track from the original topic.
