I've recently purchased a smart grinder ($240) and a em6910 ($498). I've also got coming a pullman tamper and vst basket, hopefully arriving by friday so i can start playing this weekend!! Have also been looking with keen interest at naked portafilla's, but will look into buying one a bit later. My beans are bought locally, mostly from Coffee Barun and i'm wanting to get some more 5 senses beans, I probably buy every 2 or 3 weeks, roughly. Using local milk - tweedvale or pariscreek and filtered water always. I wont go into exactly how i'm going about making my coffee but will leave that for the other thread on em6910's, which i will post sometime.
