So it's been 6 months. Before last September when I stumbled upon a Breville 800 for $5 at the council tip shop I simply couldn't justify the expense of a coffee machine. Once I had aforementioned machine I declared myself happy. It paid for itself the first time I made myself a decent brew and I felt like a thrifty mummy as I quickly cut out my visits to coffee shops.
But...
I decided I had to try the unfiltered baskets. These were quickly purchased. Yum.
Then... a grinder, so once again in full thrift mode I got a second hand Sunbeam for $60, did a quick degree in shim-ology and... YUM. Now I was finally happy. It can't get any better than this, surely? Full set up for under $100. How thrifty am I??
But.... could it get better? Probably. One Sunbeam EM6910 (second hand to protect thrifty credentials). OH HO, this is the business. I am done. Definitely done.
Then... hmmmm.... I've just e-mailed the site sponsors.... maybe a new grinder....
When will it stop?!
