There have been many lessons learnt along the way around types of machines, styles of setup, [what grinder to use](http://www.coffeeoncue.com.au/blog/grinderpart1), and then what machine to use.

You need to line up the ducks of suppliers, resources, and measurements, then knock them all down with a tight schedule. As I mentioned in [last week’s post](http://www.coffeeoncue.com.au/blog/aime2016), I learned a lot of lessons.
