Here’s a serious but of kit…a pavoni lever machine is s classic and could last a lifetime. Otherwise a rancilio Silvia yer starting point. You can pick up refurbished machines from reliable sellers on Ebay

Thanks pal. Looks good but a bit advanced for the likes of me I just want a happy medium of speed and ease of use and good coffee…any view on machine I put up?
Tks
Barry’s Tea not good enough for you anymore?
Iv never drank a cup of tea
It’s a grand machine I’d say, I’ve been through a few and I find delonghi to be excellent midprice machines, I have one at the moment but I have a separate bean grinder, a burr grinder crushes rather than cuts the beans, does a fine job, this is my set up
Make sure to buy good beans, makes all the difference
I ordered four bags from Cloud Picker last night
You look awful tight for space there.
I’m only going to say this once, but I wish you were one of my kids teachers. I’d say you are a great teacher. You have a kind heart
I gave you the right answer. It’s just that you asked the wrong question!
We have the exact same machine without the grinder. Tis a grand bit of kit.

Advice on a decent bean please. Recently bought a coffee maker but finding it hard to get a strong tasting coffee. This is the latest we’ve tried. Supposed to be a strong coffee but it’s a bit bland.
Has anybody tried grinding their own coffee beans and putting the grinds into a reusable Nespresso pod? Available in some coffee shop in Dublin near Tara Street apparently.
There’s a lot of good Irish bean roasters around now mate,
My favourites (though there’s many I haven’t tried) https://calendarcoffee.ie/
If you like it ‘strong’ I’d recommend Ethiopian or Rwandan coffee for you, they seem to have a pungency that’s different from all others, don’t ask me why
Flatty singlehandedly raising the soundness of the average interaction on the forum.
It was a lovely interaction between two decent skins. Don’t insert yourself into it you needy fuck.

You had your chance to move to limerick and you bottled it. There is no sympathy in this game .
I know mate. I try not to dwell on it. Wasn’t my place to tell her my life and job were more important than hers.
