    I'd...dare I say...back, McDonalds also (within the chain genre) purely because I'd rather spend ยฃ1 for a bean to cup coffee (admittedly I drink americano so no frothing required anyway) against ยฃ2.50+ for a glorified bean to cup coffee served by ost other chains, plus if the chain doesn't...

    I assume its based on cost, ยฃ1.30/2ltr I think will be on the pricey side compared to what most cafes pay. It's often on offer for ยฃ1 and as a cravendale drinker (pre-lactose intolerance) the price is is about what I'd expect to pay for milk anyway. Let me know how you get on with it.

    Yeah I've tried it all, however drinking non-milk coffee only refers to ad hoc coffee shop visits, when I'm home I have the arla lactofree milk, which is standard milk with the addition of the lactase enzyme (the enzyme that lactose intolerant people are lacking), it micro-foams well, tastes...

    Hello, I don't know if anyone shares my obsession but being a lactose intolerant individual I'm limited to milk-free coffee drinks when I'm out and about (don't get me started on soy). My usual drink is a small-regular americano, the reason for the small regular is many coffee shops I've...

    Hello, I've been in and out of the forum for the past year, and pursuing better espresso the entire time. As the one year mark is approaching, I'm extracting espresso far superior to that of any high street chain (he says) and I'm now taking the financial plunge into rounding off the...

    Yes, I have attempted this method! You're right, it will definitely not produce espresso grind (unless you have a some amazing food processor) I've used the method for french press coffee, it is almost passable. I'd assume the biggest issue you're going to face when producing coffee under...

    Hello, How recently was the machine bought? I had a similar experience to this last weekend, my machine had been idle for 3 weeks, I set it up, used fresh coffee, but the espresso was disgusting...I tried a few different things but could see my technique was the same. In the end I flushed...

    Hi Vintage, This wasn't really for alternative suggestions, just wondered if anyone else had experienced these new(ish) instants that attemt to mimic espresso chemically (I'm guessing). I take your points on board, i do own a Mokka (not Bailetti) and find it's a bit of a pain, spits everywhere...

    Just thought I'd put a question out there, purely out of personal interest. When I visit family and friends (who don't own any espresso making equipment) I now find myself drinking instant espresso! This first started shortly after discovering home brew espresso and my gf's mother being...

    Oh just though... To go along with the reviews, how about bean reviews which could include bean league tables, I understand that flavour is rather subjective, but it may be nice to see how beans stack up agains one and other through a national opinion (well coffee forums uk opinion) ?

    As many posts turn into general discussion (synonymous with most forums) it becomes difficult/long winded to find information on a a potential machine/grinder purchase, this results in the same question asked many times (to the credit of this forum it is well tolerated, not synonymous with many...

    Hey Rob, fresh coffee will change your life (well at 6:30am anyway) I was in a similar predicament to yourselves (my gf and I being recent graduates) I first had the DeLonghi machine you''ve looked at...STEP AWAY FROM THE MACHINE AND PUT YOUR WALLET AWAY...With much help from the guys on this...

    Looks like a job to be done before it get's too late in future then... Like vintage mine dropped straight out of the Baby Class, I like to use my 1/4" ratchet with it's short extension, saves flipping the machine over, firstly, it's such a cute tool I use it whenever possible (but too small for...

    The spare wand that came with my machine is identical the one removed from the Classic on the OC forum, so theoretically (famous last words coming up) it should fit without any major issues. Other walk though guides I'd seen mention taking the machine to bits and replacing parts of the water...
