MediumRoastSteam I meant exactly what I said, funnily enough! I like the Duo. It is a bigger version of the Zero. I do not drink enough coffee on a daily basis to really be able to put one machine up against the other, so I concentrated on the Duo since I had been asked to test that and not to compare the Zero to the Duo, if that makes sense.
Taste is subjective and everyone knows that I have kippers for tastebuds! My daily ritual of drinking americano for breakfast continued, followed by a milk based drink around 11am followed by a Hobsons Choice mid afternoon. I am drinking blended coffee rather than Single Origin. At no point can I remember thinking, this does not taste right, it could have done better.
I can generally tell the difference between a conical grinder and a flat grinder, but I think it is testament to the Duo, that at no point have I replaced it with the Zero!
