It's kinda ironic that we bought (OK, I bought) this espresso machine in Singapore, land of kopi-O, and shipped it all the way to Melbourne, coffee capital of the Asia-Pacific region. But I couldn't resist (it looks pretty cool) and it was on sale. Not that I expected very much, as it's not a Gaggia, Francis Francis or one of those other hard-core espresso machine brands. But whaddyaknow, it's been giving me (and our guests) pretty decent coffee for the last few months. Think it's also due to the smooth, lovely Genovese grind that I first had in a local cafe, then went out and bought. Makes me look good, when all I do is fire it up, load and tamp the grind, press a couple of buttons and frothe the milk! So the next time you're in Thornbury, pop by for some latte. It ain't world-class or anything, but it'll do. Unless you're some coffee connoisseur, in which case we'll go down to a real cafe!
