    Nice one. I will certainly look into one next time I'm in the US. I guess they must work for both voltages then [emoji6] Don't think I would have tried it, but glad you did and had no issues.
    Make a good cup?
    Well its different. The taste is much milder in flavor. Wasn't expecting it to be as strong as an espresso but it was more like tea (not a bad thing just different). I get why some people would like it. I didn't like it at first but its starting to grow on me.

    To be fair I've been using some aldi ground coffee cause I don't currently have a grinder. I could probably add more coffee, currently using 2 tablespoons per cup.

    Ask me in a couple of weeks.

        Really confused now. So, this was a 120V AC unit plugged into a 120V AC socket or what exactly...

        I read it this way... seems to me a 120V AC unit was plugged into an Aussie 240V AC socket using a cheap adapter from Bunnings. Talk about turbo-charged coffee... probably didn't take long to brew up a cuppa. If the RCD didn't trip it might be time to have a sparky look at the panel before everything melts down and bursts into flames

          Oh for pity's sake! Once some of you people get an idea in your head you can't get it out again with a crowbar, and it seems fear is what cements it there!

          From post #12 by the OP: "On the unit itself it says approx (actually a squiggly -) 125v at 10a and approx 250v at 5a."

          Translated: "On the unit itself it says ~125v at 10a and ~250v at 5a." A "squiggly -" = ~ = AC.

          As shocking as it is to some of you, it appears to be a dual voltage appliance and the OP has demonstrated it to be such. No fuses blew, no RCDs tripped, and it works! Nothing to see here; move along!

          Enjoy the journey, zaheerkha.
