I have searched the messages and find no reference to this program. Im assuming that those of you with pay TV have seen it - others may have seen tapes. Hosted by (ex?) world barista champion Paul Bassett, it covers a lot of ground (no pun intended) and I guess, for me, the fact that he pulls extraordinary coffees from his Sunbeam machines is the reason for this post. Ok..obviously hes sponsored etc. etc. However.......this program would appear to support the theory that within reason, the actual machine (And Im not forgetting pride of ownership, aesthetics, longevity etc.) is less important than the grinder, beans and the barista. Obviously they all need to work together to get great results - but Ive read posts where people seem almost sad to report that their "modest" machines can create great results. Dont get me wrong - Im always hoping for a breakdown so I can upgrade - but it would seem that it is more than possible to enter coffee nirvana without the Silvia/Rocky minimum requirement. (And I know you all know that)
My point is - Paul Bassett proves this with his Sunbeam - and I have seen no mention of the program or this fact here....Any ideas? Apart from his hair all over his face, hes a pretty impressive chap, dont you reckon? Im not into the milk drink thing, but man..I could be converted.

Im actually eyeing off the stainless frothing jug I bought for my new orange juicer...
For the record, Im the world champion in upgraditis and tech-head insanity. I was briefly overtaken for a short time buy a guy who bought a second hand amp from a hi-fi- dealer, not remembering that he was the one who traded it in in the first place!! ;-)
