Heh, heh. Another one bites the dust! Welcome to the party, Doc. Now, about your grinder .......

Holy Moses... That one was on Ebay for all of 2hours and 36 minutes... Congratulations! Looks as if you got a great machine. Let us know how she works. As has been mentioned $750.00 is not a bad price for these machines if they are in good condition. Welcome!
Just for the record... here she is...

I do need a grinder now......have spent most of my time reading about espresso machines and
only a small amount re the grinders.

Thinking about a mazzer mini (I am the type to buy once and not have to upgrade) and there is a great store
in town that carries high end products. Even though this post is slightly out of place I assume most in here
either own or want to own a cremina.

?Good grinder match?

thanks

Mazzers are very popular grinders. Excellent reputation. As you are considering a high-end grinder, check out H-B's very own grinder shoot out. Lots of info, good read. I found it really helpful and educational.

The Mazzer Mini is an excellent choice to go with your Cremina.

Nice set-up Bob!

Nothing wrong with a Macap M4 stepless either.

Nice Kirk... I wouldn't mind seeing more Olympia home set-ups.

Yep, now lets see if we hear from the winner... HB folks have had a pretty good run so far...
