Not happy with the rest but will drink if nothing else. <br /><br />I worked for an artisan roaster in the US and yes, espresso is good but not interested in doing it at home. <br /><br />We were laughing last night at the $3,000 machine in our junk mail.

At the same time I have resisted getting a coffee machine because I don't want to get to the point where I can ONLY drink from a coffee machine and start offending other people. If I am offered coffee I normally suss out if it's instant or not (and I don't know many ppl who only serve instant anymore) and if it is I just politely ask for tea instead. Have your tastes but don't forget how to be polite and hospitable - that's my motto!<br /><br />Haven't read any other comments so going to press submit and hope I'm not offending anyone!Louisa Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504106677453816810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-68052644136121242452011-09-20T22:06:59.653+10:002011-09-20T22:06:59.653+10:00NOT limited to Melbourne - people are just like th...NOT limited to Melbourne - people are just like this in Adelaide too.

That is my excuse for going out most days I'm now retired. But I have very special way of enjoying it.. Cup size, double shot, skim flat white 3/4 filled. <br />If it's not a proper coffee place they ask " are you sure..." um, yes. I have one coffee a day ( if I do go out) & that's it.<br />Family members have coffee machines & I am sorry to say, here where they are unlikely to read, nowhere near the quality of coffee shops.<br />At home tho' it's tea or if needing a caffeine hit, the expensive Nescafe Short Black is good.<br />At school in staff rooms we drank some rubbishy stuff. But I didn't mind international roast with 2 heaped spoons of coffee!Denyse Whelan.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16888810644186418559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-37186252636537463862011-09-19T21:46:00.400+10:002011-09-19T21:46:00.400+10:00I've defiantly and definitely chosen NOT to ha...I've defiantly and definitely chosen NOT to have a coffee machine.<br />I love the ritual of going out for coffee - home coffee is never the same.<br />I'm a coffee snob (or bogan) though - won't have instant and supply coffee bags for guests. <br />(or peppermint tea)allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009232448247160974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-21294463813807349042011-09-19T19:53:32.136+10:002011-09-19T19:53:32.136+10:00I don't drink coffee, a part of me dies when g...I don't drink coffee, a part of me dies when guests ask (sometimes i forget to offer) for a coffee & it's instant baby, bad luck, i just don't care. We only have a kettle you have to use on the stove (at least it's Alessi). All i can say is thank goodness i don't spend all that money on coffee & the thought of juggling coffee with 4 children under 4.5 years back in the day, well of course i'd need a Nanny to hold my coffee for me. I just don't understand you coffee lovers at all. My husband doesn't drink coffee either. <br />I do have a friend who was posted to Germany & they sold their CAR to buy a fancy coffee machine to bring back to Australia. It looks amazing, but enormous.

I am probably a coffee bogan snob LOL I am sure my cheap machine (we had a more costly one that broke twice in warranty so downsized) and aldi organic ground coffee would horrify the true coffee connoisseurs.

BUT I don't make it anyone else's problem, I will always make a coffee at home in the morning and if going to someone's place will easily have tea.<br /><br />We have a good machine at home, we worked out the cost of both hubby & I buying one a day and it was a no brainer.
