New coffee maker!

For my time in ningbo I've been using Chris's coffee maker, the press down type, that he bought from Starbucks but when his friend came to stay he needed the coffee maker back, leaving me coffeeless, not a good situation for me!  
I looked on taobao, the chinese eBay, and found lots of coffee makers for around 80rmb, 8gbp, but then I found a proper espresso maker that takes ground coffee and makes upto 4 cups of espresso for only 170, 17gbp! At this price I had to have one and so now can make espresso, iced coffee, latte and all the other kinds of coffee I can imagine for a fraction of the price of buying coffee in a chinese coffee shop, where you regularly need to pay 4gbp a cup, for not great filter coffee! 

The problem is my considerable supply of coffee imported from the uk has run out! I went online again and bought three bags of yunnan coffee from the west of china, I asked for ground but unfortunately when it came it was beans, and I don't have a grinder, so another trip to Starbucks to ask if they can grind it for me!
