Hi Justin,

get good quality Arabica espresso roast beans (try gastro-supply as
good quality you usually will not find at super markets), might be
darker or lighter accoding to taste and, so you have a Gaggia grinder
too, set it quite fine (eg. Nr. 4 is good for our coffee). Water
should be soft and not chlorinated, in some countries it needs bottled
destilled water, the water maker on board is fine.

Thanks for the comments Henry. I hope they're useful to others too.
Definitely some things to think about... going to have to get one of
those power usage devices and see what the Gaggia draws before I decide
whether I'd have it on a boat or not.

Justin.
