Coffee
-
We bought this a couple of months back and it is bloody amazing in my opinion.
From switching on I can brew immediately and will have two coffees for me and the mrs plus baby chinos for the kids served and all good in well under 5 minutes.
Our coffee is better than stuff I (used to - locked down now) buy in cafes around here.
Important to find a good bean supplier though. Have been using Allpress even though they are a bit more costly.

That is the same as the Breville, just different branding in the UK. Good machine.
As a tip, seeing a cafe using Allpress in the UK is usually a good sign to getting a decent coffee. They do good barista training and refuse to let a cafe use their beans unless they are up to scratch.
The beans are pricey though. I used to get them direct from their roasters near Shoreditch station and seem to recall about £10 a small bag.

My Jewish and Scottish ancestry is loving the fact I prefer plunger coffee to any other after reading how much some of you are spending on your fancy machines.
$5 K Mart plunger once or twice every few years (the twice is when I smash it on the tap by being unco).

I can't bring myself to buy a fancy machine. And I don't want to go Nespresso. I alternate between an aeropress and a power operated mocka pot. The pot is pretty consistent but it is not espresso

Even that sounds too fancy for this peasant.

I have a basic Nespresso machine, found a few capsules that I quite like, so stick with them...I usually only use it on the weekend though, stick to the mighty mochonna instant during the week - 2 x cups per day

...are you sure that isn't a pump you thought might increase the size of something?

@canefan im thesame .use mocka pot everyday. like because it is a different flavor and i dont recon i could make decent expesso. trick i found for me was buying the darkest beans and getting grind right
As few variables as possible works for me

Italian made too. The Brevilles and De'Longhi tend to be made in China.
It shows in the long run. I have a Gaggia titanium, the thing is nearly 20 years old and been in to be fixed once.
I also have a DeLonghi. 5 years old, been to the repair shop 3 times.
The Gaggia also makes better coffee. Love that machine, although it cost more than any car I had owned at that time (says more about my cars than the Gaggia, but it wasn't cheap). Paid for itself many times over - I don't buy coffee from shops often because it is so good.

So here's mine. We've had it well over 20 years now and it's never given us any trouble.

I'd rather be a Tahs fan right now than a Rebels fan.
Tahs have a lot of young talent.
Rebels have ?
Better coffee.
I think that is the biggest myth perpetuated in Australia.

Not at all, I just think Melbourne coffee is hugely overrated.
Unlike the restaurants which are awesome.
