For you blue jean, brown shoed roasters, who enjoy a beautifully roasted in Italy bean. This stuff is the nectar of the Gods.

They’re both equally good, I’d say with more bang for your buck with the Gallitelli. I’ve been drinking it for a year or so now. Other knowledge ponds include Dublin Gangland, the Donegal Football intercounty setup, drugs, sex and how to get sober. Apart from that, I havn’t much of a clue about anything.

You’re paying for convenience, versatility and the fact that it has a grinder. But you’re not going to drink a great cup of coffee, or get anything like the best out of really good beans.
If you’re an analogue sort of being you’d get a lot more out of good grinder and an aeropress. A rancillio silvia is the entry level serious machine, but then you still have to buy a decent grinder…

This one is childsplay when it comes to replacing parts etc. 15-20yrs out of a machine is fairly standard.

I see a few Gaggia models a bit cheaper than that one. Is the one you’ve linked to lowest priced one that would be worthwhile? I’d need to pick up a grinder as well.

456

Yes, lowest really good quality one with childsplay lego level of replacing components down the line. I’ve a gaggia grinder which does the trick that I got along with it, but it’s not high tech but does the trick. Maybe some of the other lads here would be grinder experts.

In fairness, if it was a rally…it would be in the historic section.

Also where it leads to. As we saw when initially brought in, banks tried to charge for tapping the card. That and more will come if or when the alternative of cash no longer exists.

It’s painted as tho cash is for the individual dodging taxes and cash is dirty in more senses than one. But that would.appear spin from banks who’ll see more profits to be plundered if they control entirely the money supply and the access to it.

‘They’ want to control what you have, how you spend it and who you spend it with. Your spending habits will be shared with a hape of corporation ls and good luck getting health insurance with your track record of downing a pottle of powers every week. That’s just the start of it.

You could cod them. Buy the Powers in Dunnes and they won’t know if it’s Porridge or Powers.
