How does the wall grinder perform for espresso? Thanks, Roland

Thanks for all the suggestions, I will see that I get a Zacconi and a Krups basket and just give them a try and then report back. Hopefully one of them will fit. The best way to get one of the Krups baskets might be to bid on a broken Krups on ebay, they often go for less than the
