It is something about us that continue to surprise our Wives even after 30+ years. I cooked Chicken Parmigiana last night for the first time and got rave reviews from better half.
My wife surprises me every day, even after 30+ years.

I think it has been a bit of a revelation, both for him and I.
The Synchronika with flow control is one we have been looking at.
I really like the look of it but I am not going to rush things, It's not as if I don't have capable equipment and I have made the mistake before of rushing in and not getting what I really wanted only to fork out the money a month later for what I wanted in the first place.
I just wanted to add I didn't think a couple of extra cuppas a day would make a difference but I feel like I am roasting a lot more than I was.

Awesome story. I love conversions to the dark side.
For machines, if upgrading I would look at the Synchronika.
The quality fit & finish will satisfy the engineer (I was a mechanical engineer) and you can upgrade the machine with a flow control u it at some point in the future.
Ha, it's probably about the only interest in common.
I think I am ready to move things up a notch, try something different. The Unico is going anywhere, well not until the oldest decides to move out anyway, which probably won't be any time soon.
Always great to gain a convert Iris, even better when it's your soul mate, another common interest.?
PS, the Splendor has an excellent reputation, why upgrade to a machine that probably won't provide better results??
Hi,
It's kind of a mixed bag around here. I have two lattes a day and now hubby is drinking espresso I join him in the afternoon for one.
My oldest is at work during the week so he will generally have a couple of lattes each day on the weekends.
Trying to gauge hubbies consumption I am thinking probably just one double espresso a day on work days and at least two on the days he is home, possibly three.
I roast my own beans and aim for a medium bean.
Upgrade wise I have been researching everything that grabs me but hubby seems intent on upping the budget and buying something we won't want to upgrade in a few years.
I currently have a Unico Splendor, which I love, and a Europiccola, that I also love.
I have looked at Bianca, Eagle One Prima, Cremina, Synchronika, Profi 700, Linea Mini and I am sure there are more in there.
Hmmm, you must have a crystal ball, we've already got a Europiccola lol
tompoland do you too have a crystal ball? I have been in the market for an upgrade for the last four months or so but keep flip flopping on what I want, I don't actually think I know but it looks like we are upping the budget somewhat so we shall see what we end up with.
No, machine is not an Aldi job lol.
