Hi all
In compulsory isolation so my mind is dealing with some of life’s questions. Number 973 involves the espresso machine. Having been through a range of mid range machines over the years the most long lived and to be honest practical device has been the current Breville 920.
It is however on its way out. Pump is tired, solenoid in crackling, display has gone but fair to say it has been hammered over the last five years.
The question is when it comes to replacement, I’m not sure if I can be bothered. It now really only services that first cup of the day need these days.
Anybody had the same dilemma? Is there a pod machine that can be classed as ok? The V60 and Aeropress do get a workout but I always feel they are a permanent experiment in life. I’ve even considered going back in time to the old filter machine.
Thoughts?
Cheers
Chris
