    Nice bit of bling there Hugo, looking good.

    I have a bit of a poor man's coffee maker in comparison, hand grinder, fresh beans, a kettle, Aeropress and elbow grease - all rather lo' tech, but still good coffee at the end of it.



    Maybe if I win the lottery Hugo

    Nice, unfortunately I don't have the space for more gadgets nor the patience to make real coffee often, bugger.

    Oh, come on! This is far more tasteful design than anything Chord have produced! On top of that, it is designed to produce very tasteful and tasty coffee.

    I've tried them all and when it comes down to it, the traditional Italian machine is the one for me. Only makes 'proper' coffee though, none of this latte, cappuccino etc rubbish

    We have a big kitchen but I'm not sure we could fit your coffee machine in anywhere
