Sorry typo. Fixed

Mother of girl reported him after they had left and he was still there.

It was the mother of the girl. She got back to the UK found out about the boy and contacted the Dubai authorities. Apparently the girl was days off her 18th birthday too. It was in the news report when he was originally arrested.

Wrecked a young man’s life for some bullshit reason.

One more quick option I have been considering is if there are any grinders in the price range with with grind to time or grind to weight options. Again this will simplify the process for others making espresso in the house.

My beans are bought from an independent local roaster (its actually only a few miles from my house and I go to pick them up so they dont have to ship them) Yes I agree they are just more oily than a light or medium roast and someone told me that the oils can cause issues sometimes, but that may not be the case I suppose.

I am really happy with my KinGrinder k6 for hand grinding and isnt a chore for one or two coffees, but anymore and it may well be.

I think I will look more at the conical than the flat but good to know that the flat wont be affected by the darker beans if the other features are better on a flat burr.

The Femobook might be a bit too much for me to spend, but will see.

I have looked at the flair in the past as they travel okay apparently and am not really keen. They are a nice idea but not for me I’m afraid. The house machine really needs to be traditional and do milk based drinks too for my wife.

Amazing. Thanks. Yes I am a dark to very dark roast kind of person which I know can cause issues with oils more than the lighter roasts.

So a conical burr is probably best for me you are saying.

I take my coffee black and strong. No sugar or cream for me thanks. It’s really the grinder I need advice on at the moment.

Was this meant for this post?

I will look at these thanks. I have had a grinder that had static before and it was a nightmare.

I am pretty proficient in being able to repair stuff, and used to repair gaggias and sage machines anyway.

Do you have an opinion on ceramic or metal and conical or flat burr at all?

Ah nice. Thanks. I did look at a similar one. I don’t mind the traditional styling. I do however have to think of my wife who loves the oracle because it is zero hassle for her. So I maybe have to go somewhere in between where if she does miss the water empty more something it isn’t a massive deal. I also thought about just getting the grinder first as then if she feels confident to do her grind and tamp herself it’s fine but if not she can continue to use the standard grinder.

She was fine with the express where she had to do everything but I think something with more of a quirk like that might be a step too far possibly.
