A few years back I bought a second hand jura bean 2 cup never looked back paid around £200 for it on eBay and with so many pubs going bust these days there are bargains to be had

Me and caffeine don't get on.
Had 2 bog standard coffee's within an hour when i didn't feel well a few winters back then promptly shook and had the sweats for about 4 hours afterwards, which was a bit of a bugger as i was fixing cables at the time and trying to solder!
Coffee's certainly not my cup of tea.  :lol [size=78%] [/size]

I have to admit to being a coffee bore - good coffee is usually down to a good selection of beans and a good clean machine .


The machine choice is not as important as you would think but any thing that uses pods is very restricting on coffee choice and in reality it's nothing more than liquid instant coffee , but is easy to make!


As you can see from my machine I have got the coffee thing bad!

It is a Gaggia that was rebadged as a Visacrem for the Spanish market when Gaggia lost the rights to their name in Spain for a short time due to a copyright cock up.


Yep its big and not the most efficient way to boil water - its a labour of love.


I found it in a skip , and after speaking to its previous own set out on a massive task of restoring it to its original kitchen.


To say I love it is an understatement , if I had a fire in the house I would be going backin to get it , if I had the strength after that I wold go back in for the family! lol
