Hello everyone, I finally got around to trying my new Baratza Virtuoso grinder, (been working so much). I tried the 6 setting since the book showed espresso grind 1-10, coffee wouldn't even come out, so I tried different things that the Breville machine suggested, i.e. tamp. Than I went to 8...

Okay guys, I went a bought a Baratza Virtuoso today for my birthday, well actually my husband bought it for me. I'm going to cook with it tomorrow being it is so late this evening. I'll let you all know how things went. Wish me luck. I'm really excited and nervous.

Ive had the Breville for a couple of months now. I find using it ok, just looking at better tasting espresso, which I am hoping that a grinder will help. When this one does go out on me, well dont know what Iwill look for then. But I do not believe I would be looking for an espresso machine...

Shadow, I just had to let you know once again that I was sorry, and I went back to my earlier post where I was asking about a grinder and both you and pinkrose made comments. I'll make sure I know who I'm talking to the next time. That is how I got mixed up because both of you used a Capresso...

Sorry Shadow I meant no harm. Don't really know where I got the idea one way or another. It might just be one of those things, because i am a her. sorry. I've been talking with Rose earlier and just got things all mixed up. I thought she was Shadow. Anyway, sorry.

Hey Rose, I'm right there with you. I just happen to be off today, and doing what you are doing. Otherwise I would not be answering so quickly. I did find a post on here about a guy that has the Breville and he purchased a new tamper and the Capresso Infinty and coffee from, I forget where...

Hello Dan, I've also bought this machine a few months ago. After reading your post was wondering how things are still going with you. I'm going to check out the links that you posted and try these also. Shadow thinks a lot about her Capresso, so I'm inclined to get one as well since you...

Hello Rose, Thanks for responding so quickly. Thank you also for all the info. Like I said earlier I'd not even looked at a grinder, but you would think that if the Capresso had so many settings that a person could find the setting that they needed for whatever type of coffee they were making...

Thanks Rose for the info. What I meant about didn't want to have to adjust in anyway. I was reading on another forum and they were talking about having to modify their machines to make them work properly. I've not even taken a look at a conical burr grinder to really know what I'm talking...

Thanks AJPRATT, I've read reviews on the cuisinart and not too impressed. To be honest, I am looking for a really good grinder for espresso, and possibly drip, not just "works well for the most part". Please don't take me wrong I appreciate your feedback. Still looking.

Hello, I am new to the espresso making process. I was going to Starbucks or Lasaters every day and started watching really close how they made my drink. Till one day I realized, I think I can do this myself. Needless to say I started searching backwards, looking for an espresso machine, not a...

Re: Welcome, Introduce Yourself! Hello, My username is nuburrgrnd and I go by Flo and I'm new to this forum. I have already posted a question on espresso machines in another thread. So anyone wanting to comment I'd appreciate it. I've been making my espresso for about 2 months and am in...
