The Big Espresso Coffee Machine Thread

Xmas has come early!

5 parcels have arrived today, all for Mr23 who has clearly done his Xmas shopping online. We're debating whether we open them all now or wait a few weeks (Mr23 is currently away at work). Some of them I don't even need to open to know what is in there.

Gonna be having some great Cappuccino's Xmas morning.

It doesn't froth and pour at the same time, but has lasted three or four years so far.

Lol. Spoke too soon. Coffee machine karked it last week. Just ordered another one online. Same model ‘Sunbeam Barista’ $269.

As an aside, when needing new appliances try ‘Appliances Online’ They are very competitive and delivery is free. I've gotten a couple of things from them now.

It’s not a fancy one but has been working hard for years.

Make sure you put your coffee grinds into the garden, not the bin!

Looks fancy to me!

I bought a coffee maker a few years .
Had to download the instructions on how to make a coffee. Do this then do this then do something else & when that is done do this then do this. There was a few more of do this. Fu#ck it.

Went back to the nescafe.
I couldn't be stuffed f#cking around first thing in the morning. I just want coffee!

We bought an instant hot water machine late last year. Breville. It leaked the first night. Took it back. Second one leaked. Third one leaked. Fourth one leaked.

Got a refund and stuck with the old kettle.

We looked at one of those under bench units that does hot water and chilled & filtered water but lots of reviews about them been problematic so we canned the idea and stuck with just our filtered water unit.

Ideally we'd like a fridge that does chilled water and ice cubes but not until the current one dies and it's going strong so don't expect I'll be replacing it any time soon (touch wood). It's still a genuine Fisher & Paykel made in NZ before they sold out to the Chinese so decent quality.

But looking forward to the Espresso machine Mr23 tells me I know nothing about.

We just finished up a swanky home that had the under bench water unit you mentioned along with a wine tap fed from the cellar. Who doesn't love booze on tap in the kitchen haha.

Can we expect to see your work in new episodes of "The Real Housewives of Melbourne"?

My new coffee machine arrived today, along with my wife's new massage gun.

I fear my conjugal services are no longer required
