Honestly as bad as the Neapolitans Drive, they are self aware of their bad driving. What this means is that they are extremely good at dodging and weaving amonst traffic. I have only seen three accidents in five years that I considered serious (ie heavy injruy/fatalies). One of my dad's Italian co-workers once said Italians were really good drivers. When pressed more about the subject he admitted it was because they could react so fast to random events. They literally train to anticipate the shoddy driving skills. In the US (like Worcester MA), many drivers that are bad either do not know or care, and often less so do not know how to handle events like sudden lane changing or no signals. I believe this is why Italy's driver fatality rate is half of the US

While we are waiting for the remaining photos, I am a little curious as to what people here think about what grinder would pair well with a Bosco. I have been looking at price ranges anywhere from a $300 to $2000

• -Sette 270
  -Mazzer Mini A/B/E
  -Compak K10
  -Mahlkonig K30
  -Monolith

I ask current Bosco owners what they have paired with their machine and what they think of this combination! I am leaning towards a Mini E or K30 (if I scrounge up enough funds).

I've noticed the Mazzers always seem to have a high resell value, would that be a preferable choice for that step up? As of now I have a Lido E and a Virtuoso (used for non-espresso equipment). I also have access to subito.it (the Italian Craigslist) to purchase 230V grinders provided I use a step up transformer. I've seen Super Jolly's for 400 euro or less frequently. I think that would be a start
