For me, the small box is just praktischt (fresh refrigerated) to at times fast times to throw the little Bialetti. You do not have large or grind the beans and making sure that the right grain here. Certainly I would drink more and also have the time not the question of the ceremony of grinding for the right FLAVOUR, nothing comes serve up freshly ground. But I think it is also important always to remember that a mill is not cheap. And who only 1-2x a week and maybe 3-4x weekend for Moka attacks will not be disappointed.
For me, a mill is only in question, if I do often give in to the desire or me but ultimately a portafilter DETERMINED to a proper espresso cook, as long as I stick with the pre-ground Illy. Some will think now, who has never drunk real espresso, it is not so, but for me enough of Moka for the home and the really good espresso I treat myself with my Barista confidence.
