espresso machine

So i have had this machine for 10 years! Just learned that pulling barista quality shots needed this!

Apparently the pressure this machine pulls shots at was 12-14 bar from the factory. Needed to be 9 bar. Who knew? So after 10 years this thing really does an amazing job lol

Sweet! I had a cheaper one but gave up and got a nespresso. Wish I had room to keep it.

I love this thing. my mother in law got it for me for christmas one year. best part is all the parts are serviceable. only had a temp sensor go out once.

Once you have a 'proper' coffee machine you never want to be without one I think. It's a bit of a fluff first thing in the morning but, man, that first aroma and caffeine hit is a real heart starter.

10 years and still going strong is an excellent lifespan for a domestic appliance. The Italians seem to have really found their manufacturing mojo over the years, they make great brewing kit too!

Agree. A good coffee machine spoils you for life.

I just use an aeropress, as I prefer to minimise power use (I'm on limited solar only) and I only drink one big cup a day anyway

I've never* called it Joe either, but I admit that anyone asking in a place where coffee (Caw Fee) is served would not ever misunderstand a request for a "cuppa Joe".

*not that I remember anyway...
