Yeah,
Thought that might be an issue but that would not affect the temperature in my mind.
I picked up coffee from a local roaster and had it ground fresh the day before by them.
Have tried two of their blends along with my regular espresso that works just dandy on the cheapo Krups.
One would think the fancier and more expensive unit wouldn't need to have its balls rubbed so much.
I get my Rocky on Monday and will give that a whirl before giving up on this thing.
