Re: confused Newbie on the loose
Well things are on the improve! I actually got asked for a second cup this morning from Darling Beloved man of the house(MOTH) so I guess thats like ALMOST a recommendation? I have watched so many crappy youtubes and a couple of good ones, but what it comes down to is practise, practise, practise. the sites here are invaluable though. the ones on frothing particularly helpful. will get to the artsy stuff later when im more competent at normal ha! ha!
Why be difficult when with a little more effort you can be downright impossible!

Re: confused Newbie on the loose
Congratulations "suepergran".... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
That is a mighty fine combo indeed 8-). I just know youre going to have a smile on your face every time you find an excuse to peek around the corner at the new additions to your family.
You know what we always say around here though, no matter what style of machine you think you want to buy, before handing over the dollars, try to get into a specialist coffee suppliers store (preferably one of our Site Sponsors) and have a play with the machines on show to get a feel for what seems right... Glad to see that you guys are so happy.....
;D

Re: confused Newbie on the loose
I never thought much of it visually either until I saw one in the flesh at Coffee Craft recently. Absolutely gorgeous and wonderful finish on it.Originally posted by 1634353C3434283E5B0 link=1268378148/28#28 date=1270034026Never got to see one in the flesh, but I think I understand how you could have been swayed. The retro look of the Domus is eye-catching on a laptop screen, and would no doubt make a wonderful centrepiece in any kitchen.Originally posted by 4365756075627762717E100 link=1268378148/27#27 date=1270030344I had written the Galatea off as not on my list I thought it was too weird looking!
Congratulations and happy bonding.

Re: confused Newbie on the loose
OOH yeah!!! I have been SO busy on my return, have not had time to get back on board the coffee snobs until now. SO... the verdict?... We went to see Roger @ Supreme Roasters @ Yatala and walked out the door with a Bezzera Galatea Domus and a K3 grinder. this was after 2& 1/2 hours of chat and learn time with Roger. Its really amusing, because I had written the Galatea off as not on my list I thought it was too weird looking! As with all the advice here and on other forums... you gotta go and try and see. Hervey Bay is a long way from most of the sponsors here, so I thought I was never going to get there. The staff @ Lillianas Cafe here in HB (They have various varieties of beans and do their own roasting) have been a great help too. As was Chris from Coffee Talk when I rang to fire some Qs at him. Bruce and I discovered it is even pleasant to have coffee without sugar if you get the right grind/tamp/beans/pour etc! Now we have it set on timer and wake up to coffee time. YAY! even my son who has his golden bean is a tad jealous.

I know of a certain Hervey Bay couple who should be very happy right now on their return home.

There is a great place just north of Marybrough.. Situated right alongside a service station..
