Me and the wife (en_GB - draw your own conclusions!) love a decent coffee but can't be arsed with too much wankery over it. We have owned a few kitchen built in units and I've messed with a couple of grinders and espresso pots in the past.

Wifey found a kitchen built in unit a few years ago and it is still doing the job, very nicely.

Let's face it, what you want is a decent coffee and you have to start from that point, not what sort of bump or grind (that's grindr).

I want a cup of coffee with: - Correct volume - sometimes a shot, mostly an "Americano" - I'm British don't you know - Correct temperature - it'll go really bitter if too hot. Too cold - ... it'll be cold. - Crema - A soft top is non negotiable - Flavour - Ingredients and temperature (mostly)

The unit we have now manages bean to cup quite reasonably, without any mensuration facilities. I have made coffee for several Italians and they were quite happy with the results.
