Weird customer situation at work today, haha. A guy comes in and asks for a decaf, which we make as a decaf Americano, so I start making it. He sees how much water is in the cup and says he doesn't want very much water, mostly espresso, as the shot's already pouring into it. He starts telling me to stop the shot, so I press the stop button, and then tells me to hand him his drink. He says this isn't what he wanted at all but he'll take it. I obviously offer to make him what he wanted, no problem at all, but he declines. I'm dumbfounded. He wasn't in a hurry or anything, as he was drinking it in the shop, but refused to let me make him what he originally wanted and sat and enjoyed his cup of hot water with half a shot of decaf. Which is the opposite of what he wanted, pretty sure.

As per some of your instructions, I have been scouring craigslist for a decent espresso grinder and finally hit on a "Rosito Bisani" grinder for $150. I will email for more information, but is this at all promising?

It is hard to tell from the single crap picture what model it is, but it looks to be in a commercial setting and has a doser.

Looks like the exact one we use at my work for espresso, and it does a drat fine job. Might be a little overkill for home use, but it's a good price. It's loud too, so keep that in mind if that's an issue. Ours have a grind catching tray where the indent is on the bottom, but you don't necessarily need it. Also it's kind of a pain to adjust if you're going to be switching between different types of grind, but if you just want to dial it in to make delicious espresso, shouldn't be a problem.
