Hello,
Hope you are not all completely fed up with novice questions.
I'm am shortly going to invest in a little espresso machine (Gaggia Baby probably, unless someone thinks this is a huge mistake for some reason) and look forward to making my first steps on the road to espresso nirvana.
However, I just hadn't realised the importance of the grinding until I did some research on the machine and came across sites like this.
Now, I've already got a grinder which I've been using for my French press coffee. It's a old war horse that dates back to the sixties, just your basic tall round one, in lovely "stylish" orange and brown plastic. It has no settings apart from "on" and "off", but it has been going forty odd years and it happily grinds away to what looks to me to be the same consistency as *gasp* ready ground coffee.
Would I need anything more fancy than that in order to get a decent result?
