Coffee

[Tredman]

Still love my Aeropress and the day I can justify £500 on making espresso is the day I know I've made it in life

I think my money would be better spent on investing in a decent grinder and getting better quality beans.

Mine was a lot less than that! Bean to Cup machines are always very good value on Amazon warehouse.

Yeah, I know you can get cheap ones, but I'm not sure they'd make better coffee than I can with an Aeropress.
Happy for recommendations mind

Strictly decaff now, though I try to sneak a decent cup in now and again.

I've used an aeropress a lot and do like it - if you like a long shot, as I do, then i think you get a better stronger coffee from a machine. Uses more beans though.

Generally agree on spending the ££ on such a thing but been a tough few months and will be a bit shit for a while longer and after cancelling 2 holidays, bit of spare cash was available and decided a treat was in order.
My last coffee machine gave up and been missing a proper brew so we went all in on the treating side and got something that will be used a lot and can maybe possibly semi justify the outlay.

I will then contradict myself later down the line when I refuse to pay for something because it's slightly over priced.

As i despise coffee and hot chocolate i will stick with my kettle for a cup of tea. Everyone here thinks I have two heads or something for not liking coffee but i am easy with this fault in my make up

You must be getting close to the age where you have one of these

If others drink hot chocolate a good persuasion point.

Wife used the milk jug part last night and popped in some Lindt choc powder with the milk. Lowest froth setting and it makes a lovely smooth hot chocolate.

A simple bit I like about this machine is all the small accessories for it are stored within the machine.

Could be a good route, I think I'll get one might be in around 12 months but I can wait. Cancelled Nespresso membership so I can build up cash towards one.

Give anyone who tells you an Aeropress can make espresso a good slap for me.
