Phate - does the coffee machine only do shots of coffee?

I prefer a big old mug with milk in the mornings and would feel cheated by a small thimble of a cup.

It's an espresso machine, you use the steamer wand to heat milk, like in coffee shops.

Unless the machine stores milk or you add it in when you want it, either want I wouldn't want that...can you imagine having to wash out the milk part every time or leaving milk in room temperature for more than a day?

Just heat some milk up in a pan/microwave is quicker and easier.

When I make a coffee I boil the kettle next to it at the same time. Add hot water and then a bit of milk. Hey presto, big mug of coffee. But it tastes soooo much better. :)
 
I really don't see the fascination with a curved TV. To be fair, I have never tried to sit and enjoy it for an hour or so, just stood in front of one for a few minutes in a shop. But it just seems to me that if you are slightly off-center, then the experience is ruined for you

Something to do with better angles, like in some cinemas, in particular, IMAX. Personally, because everyone's living room is different, and often need to cater for more than a single person, a curved screen is most beneficial when you can sit in an optimum distance and angle, meaning everyone else is getting a worse deal. If you are sitting too far it makes the whole curved screen effect pointless too.

I've come from a 32" to a 55" so to me its probably not as noticeable cause I'm still sitting there going "oooo big tv!". I mainly got it for the picture quality (photo doesn't do it justice) so the curved bit was like an added extra I got with it.

Watched a bit of NHL on it a few nights ago and I was like :eek:, I could actually see the puck all the time!

I noticed people were all buying soundbars for them as well but I find the sound fine on it.

Until you buy a sound bar and realise how much better it sounds. TV speakers generally sound poor due to design.

It's to make up for the poor viewing angles of the screens.
