You no longer eye up the totty? Fall over, you're dead, you just haven't noticed. That or you've joined Jarrod's team.

I splashed out on a Gaggia Accedemia. It's very pricey, but by fuck I've never looked back.

Bean to cup, or ground, the choice is yours. It offers flexibility, and will make whatever your heart desires. Cafe lungo? Sure! Double espresso? No drama! Late machiato? With you in a minute.

You can alter the strength, grind, length of each coffee to suit your tastes.

Buy one! You'll love it. Unlike some coffee machines it's high pressure, and has a dual heater, so you're ready for your first cup within seconds of turning the machine on.

It has an autowake, so it turns on as I'm dragging my arrse out of bed. Cleaning it is a doddle, as it cleans itself. The only thing which is a nause is the monthly descaling which takes about 4 liters of water, and about an hour of your time. It's fully automated, but you have to refill the water tank a few times.

I also have a monthly subscription to these guys: Roastmaster Service (Annual Subscription) Roasted Coffee Collection | Union Hand Roasted Coffee

I get the monthly roastmasters selection delivered to my door. Nom nom nom nom nom. A different coffee each month, and I've never had a shit one.

I must confess, I am a coffee drinker, not poseur, if you like it, there you go; for myself, Taylor's Hot Lava Java, goes down a treat. I am the only coffee drinker in the family, so a perculator does for me for the day. Drunk from an old Thermos mug, which is still good cold (black).

You want a Cuisinart DGB-700. It grinds the beans, and brews the coffee in a one-er. You put beans in the hopper and water in the tank. Press button and come back 5 mins later to fresh coffee. It's the DBs. If you get one, make sure it's the one with the glass carafe, not the insulated one. The insulated one is a) smaller (10 vs 12 cup) and b) doesn't have the heating pad under it to keep the coffee warm. The insulating feature is frankly shite.

Here is the machine:




Don't cheap out and get this one:



It is utterly shite and a complete dog to clean. You don't want water in the bit where the beans go, and that's what you get with this model when cleaning it. Neither does it have a hopper for the beans.

Why not? I do.

I've also had some new bird move in next door, though I've not had a good look at her yet. She drives a nice car though.
