I missed the Reg Barber tamper... I only noticed the flimsy plastic tamper on the glass shelf. I take back my words! :D

That sure is one gorgeous piece of kit.
You are going definitely going to have fun learning how to make good espresso with that machine.

Good Luck...

Thanks Richard,

I haven't stopped polishing it since its arrival. :D
The learning curve appears to be vertical at the moment.

Thanks again.

500 pixels wide and let the height turn out as it would by keeping the aspect ratio.

Just chucked it into Xara and it said "ooh that's a bit big, shall I reduce it to 500 pixels for you?" and so I said "yes"! :D

Dropped the filesize by a factor of 4 - 5 too, which is going to please anyone without broadband.

Thanks,
I think that all of the E61 equiped machines in this price range look very similar, and probably use 90% of the same parts also.
You are spot on about the grinder, it's driving me nuts.
