Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

I'm not sure I'll ever be desperate for coffee but unwilling to use a plunger 😆.

It it worth considering instead of an espresso machine?

[-] TagMeInSkipIGotThis@lemmy.nz 2 points 4 months ago

Ive had mine for 10 years and use it daily. Makes pretty good espresso, not as good as a good barista would, but good enough.

They are pricey given they just do a black coffee and all though.

I think at the moment I want more of a traditional espresso machine, but I've written it on my wish list for the future once I learn how to make espresso.

I really like that they designed a newer version, but they sell conversion kits so you can upgrade your 20 year old one!

Yeah I converted mine to the new version - they had a really good guarantee when I bought mine as well which was 10 years, if something breaks send a photo & we'll send a replacement.

That's really cool, it's definitely on my list for the future! I just have no idea what I'm doing with regards to espresso so am wanting to go with a more standard machine first. Plus I'm pretty sure the kids will love some mirco-foamed milk!
