Re: What u would do for good coffee?
Segrave...
Worked for 45+ years during most of which I drank cr@p instant coffee.....
Got myself a redundancy package and retired!!!
Figured I better start having some of the finer things in life before I "shuffled off"
After having had (quite) a few domestic machines, I started to shop around for a pre loved commercial grinder and then my pre loved commercial coffee machine.... bit of restoration on the machine (I love tinkering and that was an ideal project)..... and now I have great coffees when ever I want!!

Re: What u would do for good coffee?
I did the redundancy thing too but the timing wasnt good enough for retirement.
Dont do the drugs trial unless it involved caffeine.
You hear the occasional story about the poor guinea pigs nearly dying and taking years to recover.
Not worth the risk, even for a good coffee.

Re: What u would do for good coffee?
Started off with a cheap stove top
found a second hand phillips machine
Now moved up a level with the Gaggia set up.
The dream machine is still a little way off. One day, I can wait.
I dont have to have everything RIGHT NOW I have another 50 + years to live.

Re: What u would do for good coffee?
Hi Segrave,
If money is tight, Id get a job at a great cafe to leech off ;P Failing that, sunbeam grinder + plunger + good coffee = value for money!
I think that I basically chose my Maver over the standard uni student overseas trip. Tough call, but I thank myself for it every morning, as I stumble downstairs, bleary eyed and dont have to think to get a decent cup.
It never ceases to amaze me how all of us have no money, but manage to afford airfares year in and year out! Being a uni student in Europe must be awesome for travelling. I seem to remember seeing 20 Euro flights from Rome to Madrid!
Cheers,
Luca
