Just get a jar of Mellow Birds instant, be much cheaper.

Bizarre. You can get the same model minus the rapha livery on ebay 400gbp cheaper.

Having just come back from a week in Italy* where they are singularly incapable of making a decent cup of tea**, you can keep that bloody wretched coffee thingimybobber and stick it where the sun don't shine!





* - The complete and utter shitehole dump they call Naples.
Only go if you like seeing huge piles of rubbish in the street, mouldering in the heat, surrounded by the most crappiest and derelict looking building possible, all wearing an unspeakably ugly garb of top to bottom graffiti, and with quite the most insane traffic passing by, meaning you quite literally have to take you life into your hands ever time you cross the road, and all with pickpockets and other dodgy looking characters everywhere.

I bet downtown Kabul probably looks better!

Rant over.

** - They genuinely didn't have a clue about tea, ANY of them!

I've heard that, erm, Poundland do good coffee.

Cafetiere is way cheaper and easier. I grind but that's optional.
Quick, easy to clean, and tweak it to any strength you like. The grounds are useful as an organic slug deterrent if your dahlias need saving.

I use the Bialetti stove top (we have 2 sizes), it's what most Italians use at home. Currently using Sainsburys "all day long", very smooth and easy drinking which is what the other half prefers.

I do look longingly at the various shiny/steampunk type things, but i know it would be a passing fad for me.

More Rapha madness! Looks really nice and should do for 3500 euros ex-works!

I use a Gaggia classic and a burr grinder. The coffee is absolutely lovely.
