Re: new machine
Hi Kat,
I just cant get my head around a bloke not wanting more gadgets, and being worried about a clear bench space....you poor thing !!!
I offer no solutions but to try and explain to hubby how much it would mean to you if he could give up a tiny bit of his beloved bench to accomodate equipment that will serve you both well for many years, instead of compromising on a machine that will more than likely end up sitting on the bench being under-utilised.
Maybe if you have enough room in your dining room, you could set up a small table/bench to have your coffee stuff, separate from the kitchen bench ??? Be creative and look for solutions...dont compromise !!!
In SA, Mark at The Coffee Barun would be good to talk to if you wanted someone local.
Good luck!
Cheers,
buff

it worked wonders and I got it here. After him being a total espresso is awful kind of person he now quite enjoys me making one! I am on cloud 9 that he wants to get me something for my birthday that is not a rainwater tank or something we need so Im happy to go on the few restrictions he has given me. I think the Lelit is more convincing on the price range too and Im just so pleased that he wants to spoil me.
I know where youre coming from. When I first ventured into these murky waters my wifes initial reaction to the likely cost of a grinder cant be printed in a public forum!
I had to physically ready myself when I approached the actual machine cost with her! It was a matter of yelling it from as far away as possible and then running.
