Hints & Tips
Trigger
The types of coffee machines
Manual: For people who like control over their coffee-making, the coffee grounds are loaded by hand into a cup-shaped filter. Capsule: Easy to use and mess-free, simply insert the sealed capsule (""pod"") of pre-ground, pre-measured coffee. Automatic/Semi-automatic: Decide what you want your coffee machine to do for you. Some models perform tasks at the push of a button, including cleaning the machine. They also offer a range of pre-sets for one, two or three shots of espresso at the push of a button.
Grinding the coffee beans
Some coffee machines have a built-in coffee bean grinder, which can be adjusted for coarse, medium, fine or extra-fine granules. Coffee grinders come in three types: Wheel burr grinders: The beans are crushed between two wheels, one spinning very fast and the other stationary. These can be noisy. Conical burr grinders: A metal cone at the base rotates against another surface at the top. These spin more slowly, tend to clog less and are quieter. Blade grinders: Beans are sliced finely using a blade. These may grind beans unevenly and leave coffee with a slight burnt taste if ground too long. If the espresso maker doesn't have an in-built coffee grinder, you'll need to buy a standalone one or use pre-ground coffee instead.
What is a thermoblock?
This is the internal component of a coffee maker that heats water to the optimum temperature range for making coffee (between 85°C and 96°C). For good flavour it's important that you don't scald the coffee. Machines with twin thermoblocks make coffee quicker because they heat the water for the coffee and create steam for frothing the milk at the same time.

Great Coffee at last!
I'm currently living in the Phillipines and I am starved of great coffee in the local province. The coffee scene is growing in Cebu but so far away from me for a good cappaccino. I bought this machine a couple of months ago and had it delivered "free" to my friends house, he packed it up with some extra goodies and fresh beans and posted it over to me as my birthday gift. The coffee maker is similar to the Sunbeam model I had in Australia for many years but the little Piccolo sure does heat much more quickly and is ready to go in no time. It's excellent for a full flavoured coffee anytime I feel like one and it's quick and easy to clean!

Waste of money
I was excited when I got my coffee grinder but was quickly disappointed. It is really messy and gets coffee everywhere. The grind does adjust but the coarser you like it the less the machine works. You have to jiggle it to keep the machine going. It gets clogged really easily and again the mess, all over the container, the machine and the bench. It was a gift or else I would have returned it for a refund.

Not up to espresso standard
This machine doesn't grind fine enough for espresso - after researching the problem, I found that nearly every review for espresso drinkers said the same thing, that they had to disassemble it and add two washers on in order to make the grind fine enough. Sunbeam even sends out a washers kit because they recognise the problem. Yet they still don't build it the right way from the beginning? Disappointing to an otherwise adequate grinder.

Coffee tastes good again!!
I bought beans and ground them with my blade grinder, as usual. I just haven't been getting the taste I want. Is it my taste buds disappearing with age or is it poor quality beans? I was about to complain about my latest purchase of beans and consulted the www. "You must use a burr grinder!" I was told. How true! My Sunbeam grinder complements my Sunbeam espresso. Place the group head under the outlet and it fills with fresh ground coffee. You can grind [1-24 [Fine to Coarse]] for whatever way you prefer to brew your coffee - So convenient. Should have bought one years ago!

Have had 2 of these. Both have worked great for a few months and then all of a sudden wouldn’t grind the beans fine (at all). Have cleaned out throughly and still won’t grind fine.
Hard and very annoying to clean.
