***** Pictures of things we bought in July 2012 *****

^^ not even sure what that is ?

heres 2 items from today

Creative D200 Bluetooth Speaker - great for kitchen - nice and discreet (stuck on top of the fridge) - sound quality not bad really either good enough for the job it needs to do. Was considering getting a dock - but decided they take up extra space not really needed, with this I can have my Iphone or IPAD 3 in the next room safe away from any accidental spills etc.

That why expression machines that takes coffee grind (with a fresh burr grinder) is the best solution in

1 - variety/flavour
2 - stock
3 - price
4 - availability
5 - freshness & taste

The only down side is initial cost of purchase but soon you make the money back.

I also have a Gaggia pod machine, getting the pods for that took 3 months last time I tried, which I don't bother with anymore. Three times they were unable to find my house via their crappy courier and when they did the order was wrong!

See what I mean ! Mercy at the stockist for pods.

Traditional expresso machine is much better.

I have both, the pod system gives me convenience and produces a fine brew that isn't as good as it gets, but an expresso machine isn't much better, just better, but less convient hence the pod thing.

I have actually, in Rome :p the hotel has one of these and drank it for a week.

Convenient? Yes
Taste? It was good
Would I buy it? No

So its tastes good and convenient why would you not buy one?

I know a proper espresso is maybe 5% better but is it wroth the time and effort to make a espresso that is only a little better?

I like to try different beans around the world.

I don't want to be at the mercy of a company selling pods.
 
I like taking photos of my new stuff almost as much receiving and using them.

Here's my 2 latest purchases.....


Outstanding drive. Couldn't be happier with it:

The ultimate notebook. I wanted the soft cover version but ordered the hard cover. I love it anyway:
