One immediate question I have that maybe stefano65 would know best since he works on these is what a suitable grinder companion would be. I have a Rossi 625 and a Rocky doserless (the Rocky which I'm selling). I'm hoping I can carry on for awhile with the Rossi until I can afford something in order to satisfy my upgrade-itis disease. Any thoughts anyone?

Looking forward to it!

There is only one grinder that can stand next to the Belle Epoque, the mighty Robur! It might be the first time a Robur looked like it belongs on the counter next to a "home" espresso machine. Of course between the two of them you will probably need to put on an addition.

Beautiful machine, I hope you really enjoy it. In my opinion, you should stay with Elektra, and take a look at the new grinder called the Nino Azione (pic copied from another thread):

There are several threads in the grinder forum, just do a search. Here is a thread from an H-B member who recently received one and is very happy (lots of nice pics also)...

Elektra Nino Grinder

This is my 'someday' grinder.

Enjoy your experience, James

dOs, when are you supposed to receive your new baby? Make sure you get a few good unpacking pics to share.

Yes, I had been looking at the Nino Azione. Straight up hot that grinder is. I couldn't find out how many years I'd have to save for that (another words... the price tag here in the States). Thanks for the link to the lucky devil who bought one.

One would need 220 just to turn it on!

He has to have 220 to plug the new machine in anyway. In for a penny in for a pound.
