    Got the machine recently as an anniversary present with a big selection of pods (and it almost matches my toaster & kettle!). The kenco was my favourite.

    Ah bread Marco, another of my failings - I just love artisan bread and can eat a wee bit too much when it's fresh . . . . slathered with butter

    Sourdoughs are my thing.

    Lol... Yeah, I love sourdough bread, too. The Polish bread I have for breakfast (just one slice per day) is a sourdough variety, but I don't slather it in butter; just with a small smattering, along with the same quantity of the Bonne Maman apricot (or strawberry) jam I illustrated earlier, so that the bread remains the 'star of the show', as it were.

    It's also great for mopping up pasta sauce!

    We should really make our own bread, but simply don't have the time, given all the other things we make from scratch already. I also love a (proper) French baguette, but most of the ones sold here in supermarkets are rather sad examples of such, and but a pale imitation of the real thing.

    I always laugh at the "artisan bread" thing, because it's only considered here as such. In Europe, it's just NORMAL bread, as no-one eats the prepackaged sliced shite we have here!

    Marco.

    Yup

    Artisan Bread = real bread
    Supermarket sliced packet bread = artificial bread

    Waitrose baguettes aren't too bad, but again, not as good as the real thing
