let's talk about coffee. i've finally found a place that sells the demoka m-203 grinder here in new york!

long time readers may remember that i have a saeco 2002 to grind my vac pot and french press coffee. despite what the ad copy says, the saeco doesn't really grind finely enough for good espresso. if you set the machine to the finest setting, it invariably jams. and then mr. right has to come take it apart while i vaccuum it out! no fun. thus for perfect espresso, i'm in the market for an espresso-only grinder.

what makes the demoka such a great thing is that the m-203 has no doser to hold the coffee after grinding. it grinds straight into the portafilter of your espresso machine. so you never have the problem of stale coffee hanging about the doser to ruin your morning shot.

i must immediately contact these people in westchester to find out how much they want for the m-203. if it's priced competitively with the rancilio rocky, i will buy -- as soon as i figure out a place to put it!
