I just moved to Trier a few weeks ago and I've been trying out different types of espresso coffee and they're all pretty awful!
Even went to a specialised store that sell a wide variety of coffees, grind them for you, and their finest espresso grind is still to coarse to make a decent cup.
Of all the coffees I've found only one little Italian store carries a good grind, one that I haven't heard before and one that is pretty expensive, but so far I'm stuck with it.
I was just wondering, anyone know of any stores that carry Illy coffee or similar? I'm in Trier but I wouldn't mind driving to get it, or ordering online. Since I'm here for a year it could be worth my while driving 200-300km and getting a good supply of decent coffee... I'm strange that way, I didn't lug a Gaggia machine all the way from Ireland to drink muck here in Germany hehe!
