Be very wary of individual user reviews, as you will often get someone who
is as green as you say you are, who buys a machine, and almosts immediately
posts a positive review without having a basis for comparison. Because of
this, CG is notorious for having positive reviews of grinders which tend to
be OK for a year or so and then they wear out. It is harder to extract
information from this newsgroup, but it has longer institutional memory.

I see nobody recommended Alan Frew's website, http://www.coffeeco.com.au/;
this is a commercial site, but Alan's comparisons of machines and grinders
are careful, extremely detailed, and informed, and frankly you will learn
more about buying a home espresso setup from 15 minutes on that site than
you will spending hours on CG or a.c.
