You could put one of these in a coffee shop and it would last years and make quality coffee.
Those consumer kitchen appliance things canât produce the pressure, deal with the heat or give the control necessary. Youâre basically limited to what coffee beans you buyâŚthatâll be the extent of your input
Making a good shot of espresso isnât difficult but youâll always be making simple allowances to control the extractionâŚhow fine the grind is, how fresh it it from when you open it to when you finish it, humidity etcâŚyou want to be tamping the coffee yourself (pressing it down into the filter(
Depends what youâre intoâŚif you want to press a button and quickly get something a bit inferior to what you buy in a filling station then buy the bean to cup yoke. But I know youâre better than that Harry.
A lever machine is also a good option
Iâd say thatâs perfect for your needs so.
I have a de longhi version of that and itâs the finest. Just needs descaling every few months is the only maintenance. Far cheaper coffee than buying nespresso Pods too
If the environment concerned you itâs probably better for the environment as well. You can use the coffee grinds as compost for flowers rather than dumping the pods
Nah⌠yours has a digital display.
The V6 will sell him on that.
He might as well hold off for the V8
Coffee grounds are great feed for broccoli. Makes the soil acidic which broccoli loves.
Sheâs claiming her choice has more grind settings than yours 
she says it will be closer to what you get in a coffee shop.
Please tell me yours makes a cup as nice as a coffee shop.
Better than some of the local coffee shops.
Thereâs about 30 grind settings.
Once you have it set the way you like, itâs bean to cup in about 2 mins. Only thing that takes time is the milk.
Seems crazy money. Get a decent machine for 1/3of that price
A roaster from Tipperary debating the finer points of a 600 pound coffee machine
FG really have performed an economic miracle.
I refuse to give up on you halfwits
Itâs the equivalent of sa shoeshine boy giving stock tips to rockefeller.
The blueshirts are crashing the economy
Weâll be drinking coffee made from acorns once SF take power.
I have a code for 10% off from old barracks if you need it. Expires today.
What kind of machine have you?
I donât have one.
Just use a moka pot or a cafetiere
Solid choices. Streets ahead of these tacky fly-by-night plastic toys
Polish fella who comes to the local market of a friday uses one of these and the coffee is savage. He roasts his own stuff also.
These donât require electricity* right?
*obviously you need something to heat the water
The ones Iâm thinking of do have an electric boiler, though I spose you could have one where you added hot water.
The pavoni yokes run for a lifetime with a little servicing. Theyâre getting pricey though but a good used one would be less than half the price
A genuine design classic
I just bought 500 Nespresso compatible pods from the fine coffee company.
