MJ74 Thanks Mal, the lelit does seem to be liked by those who have had one. I did look at the Rocky but the tales of fiddly adjustment put me off a bit. In reality it probably wouldn't be an issue considering my needs.
[deleted] G'day again mate... 🙂 Never found the Rocky to be fiddly to use at any time, so not sure what is being said about it to be honest. Of the two though, I think I would pick the Lelit ahead of it because it offers the possibility of better results for Espresso. No need to think of an expensive pump machine for this though, I sold my machinery a while ago and bought Flair Espresso unit and very happy that I did... ;D Mal.
askthecoffeeguy Rocky isa great little machine but gee its a noisy buggar - Id be going for somthing a bit quieter myself! P
[deleted] In a lot of respects, the "noise" factor comes down to how much are you prepared to pay. If you're talking circa $400.00, there aren't too many quite ones out there. And, for what it's worth, I never found the Rocky to be objectionable... Mal.
MJ74 I have one 4 year old and another coming soon. There isn't anything quiet in this house. 🤣 If the grinder makes noise for a minute then it's really not an issue.
Brett_H Hello all... great advice given here!!! I have a Rocky that I've had since new and I use it at work because I've found it better to use and quieter than the Nemox Lux grinder I have. Having said that they're all great grinders in this bracket though I do suggest buying new because being smaller burrs you'll get a shorter lifespan out the burrs and their replacement while not difficult is sometimes a little fraught in regards to alignment post the change.
MJ74 Thanks for all the replies guys, it's much appreciated. I went with the Ascano i mini 1 as it has good reviews and it went on sale. I gave it a run a few times today and it is a solid unit that will fulfill my needs adequately. Thanks again 👍☕
[deleted] Good one Marcus... 8) This should give you many years of good service mate, with the advantage that it is capable grinding for espresso should you get yourself a Flair Espresso one day... 😉 Mal.
MJ74 Already looking Mal 😉 If I stumble across a sale, I may buy one. Until then, the Mokka and Turkish Çezve will have to suffice. Cheers M

I was thinking an Ascano i mini 1 with flat burrs Or the Lelit PL44 Or the Bezzera BB005 Or Baratza 30 Even the cheaper Graef cm800? Any opinions on these choices? Any gentle nudges in any direction? Hi Marcus, I sell a large range of grinders and for your use I would recommend the Sette 30. ...But you can’t go wrong with any above really. Cheers [emoji4] Paul www.kbean.com.au
MJ74 Thanks Paul. I would have looked at Aus sellers if I was over there but, at the moment, I'm over in Germany. Thanks for the tip anyway.
