1. I didn't want to go insane
2. I didn't want my prices to go up too far! I started off dreaming about a Breville Double Boiler, but soon decided that if I was going to drop in the $1000s rather than hundreds, I'd prefer purchase something for the long haul (not only quality, but satisfaction). At that point I knew I'd be in trouble without some time as well as financial limit.
On the price front, my wife still doesn't quite understand why we had to spend so much on a machine *shrug* What else are tax returns for?! I want to point out that we're spending basically all of our discretionary funds on a USA trip, but decided not to play that game. Experiences will always feel undervalued to me, and equipment undervalued to her. She thankfully does drink coffee, so as soon as she's competent to use it, I'm hoping she'll have more buy in. For your wife - find a roaster that can offer you a really sweet chocolatey nutty Brazilian coffee, and make her a latte
.Things that a less thought about - being neither looks NOR performance related! - but more important than machine owners might like to admit is things like the volume of the drip tray, how easy it is to remove, the volume of the internal tank and how easy it is to fill, and the footprint of the machine (which you really can't get much sense of without seeing them next to each other). Might make all the difference for you.
I read Aeneid in my undergraduate - sadly I don't have latin, so was in English. I entirely agree with it's difficulty! Although often comes down to what translation you have to be honest. Homer was far easier in my opinion
Hopefully one day I'll read it in the greek, but for now I'm only venturing as widely to learn koine greek. And I'm afraid I'm far better at making coffee than I am at chess (contrary to my detail oriented nature, I haven't bothered to learn enough classic moves).I've tried to triangulate where you are, Goondiwindi is my best bet. It's probably wrong, I initially thought you were out West, but if it's not - worth a trip to Brisbane?
[Edit - just saw in another post you're 30 mins from Lismore.. defs worth doing a road trip to Silipo!)

, I have been saving for two years now, putting a little bit aside each month, it also takes me a while to make up my mind, it won't be a rushed decision, but I think I would be like most, I guess I get a little excited at the prospect of a bargain.
