Good. Now you are rocking! Looks like the machine and grinder have been updated since I bought mine.

The grinder settings are particular to each grinder. Your "8" setting is more like my "-5" setting to make espresso.

Looks great.

I notice the steam wand on the right and seem to always remember it being on the left, unless I am nuts.

You guys would know better than I would about the Silvia.

Mine is on the left and the Gaggia before was too.

No big deal, I was just curious.

Carry on, espresso warriors.

If you keep consuming at this continued high rate, you will have no need for a toy to keep your beans fresh, Carlos.

Clara is ready to shoot me.

Then again, she has been ready for that for years.

Cool beans, Bl'ace.

I can't wait until you fall off the roasting slope.

Do you have a stainless can to froth milk and a thermometer?

Please go away.

I have been looking at them.
There is no end in sight.

I haven't even gotten my new tamper and have been looking at a few European ones that either have a spring or the one that clicks.

This is yet another sickness.

Cannister is cheap and I use pen style meat thermometer which is like $5 and works fine.

stopped in Crate and Barrel yesterday and saw a nice frothing pitcher with the clip on thermometer for 15 bucks and almost bit.

Personally, I see no use for the thermometer though as once it's steamed and frothed, I stop and do my thing. It's plenty hot.
