Gotta have the right grinder...it does make all the difference! I'd also suggest Kicking Horse Coffee Cliff Hanger Espresso, which you can get at Thrifty's, Safeway, and some other locations in town. Some folks are partial to "Discovery Coffee" and you can get their beans at 2% Jazz on Douglas near Hillside. I'm not a huge fan, being loyal to the folks at Kicking Horse and all (they're in Invermere and my Dad's their handyman).

Anyway, good luck! I'd love to hear another review of your machine once you've had some more time to experiment with it. I really want one, but we just haven't got the counter space here. :( One day though...one day...
