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?

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!
