Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that doesn’t justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    I accidentally bought 1kg of espresso-ground coffee, so drinking lots at the moment! I was intending to get beans which would hold their flavour for longer. I’m also using an aeropress and espresso grind is a bit hard to use in that.

    I was at Briscoes and saw coffee machines and thought oh, maybe I should get an espresso machine to use with my espresso grind coffee! I don’t know what I was expecting a small, basic espresso machine to cost but I was not expecting them to start at $400 and go up, up, up from there!

    Anyone got a small sized espresso machine (doesn’t take much bench space) that makes coffee and froths milk that they can recommend?

    Or put another way, what’s the cheapest machine worth having?
