The old machine served me well. I can't complain as I never had a bad word said about the coffee I served from it.
The new machine is just a beast though.
One thing I have noticed is that coffee intake has at least tripled! I have got through 500g of coffee in 4 days.
Even with dialling the grinder in, that is a lot of coffee.

I'm the'greatunwashed'.
Holy smokes that's a lot
I use 18g per cup and limit myself to two per day, sometimes just one. Going on that amount that would be around 6/7 coffee's a day. You must be wired?

Yup I am needing a new one myself as this one is nearing its end but hope to screw a few more pints first. If I give up vinyl I might get a new one.

Have you had a chance to play yet?Don't intend to Kev. But like I said, for a tenner, it's got to be tried! Full 'reportage' on all the Lidl bits later

My coffee journey so far:
I used a French Press and ground coffee.
I than moved to a Bialetti Moka coffee maker.
My first espresso coffee machine was a Delonghi Bar 15, which set me back about £20 as it was a refurbished model.
It looked like this:
I partnered that with a blade grinder. It was ok, but then I upgraded to an Isomac Granmacinino with conical burr grinders. Much better tasting coffee.
That has done me proud for well over 10 years and is still going strong. (I will be advertising the grinder and coffee machine locally to fund more coffee purchases!)
Than as posted before, Mrs H bought me a Magimix L'Expresso automatique. I kept the Isomac grinder.
Then my recent purchases showed me just how much the previous machines had made me think making coffee was easy.
It is not difficult to make coffee with the new set up, but it is like a high quality stereo - it shown up the imperfections, but when you get everything right, the results are stunning.

Here's a bad tip.
Drink about 4 pints of beer or a bottle of wine.
Then start making a series of seriously strong espressos. Do about 3. The resulting 'high' is interesting. It is like the alcohol sensitises you to the effect of the caffeine.
Almost undoubtedly not good for you. But fun nonetheless.

Pretty much Buckfast. It's alcohol and caffeine. My mate is addicted. He is up all night and active too. It's s local drink where he comes from

Wow never heard of it just looked it up. A 750ml green bottle contains the same amount of caffeine as 6 coffees.
That stuff isn't messing around.
