im not sure if it is available on your side of the pond but i have a gevala coffee maker its got a timer on it so the coffee is finished once i roll out of the bed have been awoken by the lovely smell on many an occasion!

Have both the gevalia (belong to coffeeclub) and an espresso machine. The gevalia is free if u join the club w/little or no restrictions as to how long you have to be a memeber. I also grind my own beans, much fresher that way

I got the Cuisinart Grind & Brew for my birthday - great little machine which you can either put in beans or ground coffee.

I have a Hitachi esspresso machine (about £70 from Comet) with milk frother etc... but I still prefer a tall coffee made in a french press.

Bodum ones are available everywhere. http://www.bodum.com/b2c/?famId=10&famSubId=1001

I drank a couple of senseo's today where I was working. It looks the part but its not a patch on my home made brew...finest Columbian

Indeed.

We've been using one of these for more than a decade, well we're on our second, but the same model.

This thing makes better capaccinos than most shops. Mmmmmm.

Pretty sure you guys overseas can get these as well. Probably through Amazon.com I'd bet.

I have a Krups machine (German I think) which is pretty damn good.
The hot steam jet thing is great for frothing up Chocomel!!!

MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm frothy Chocomel. Damn it why dont we get Chocomel in the UK?

I saw it for sale over here once and I bought loads...never seen it again since.

Thanks for all of the replies... I'm doing my homework before I spend me money... not being tight but £150 worth of coffee machine, I want it to be the bollocks mate !!

** for the non-Brits amongst us "the bollocks" roughly translates to : Damn good or about as good as it gets **

Although calling it "Bollocks" as opposed to "The Bollocks" means the opposite.....

Just to clarify.

... well said Gonz'

When introducing this phase into a comon day spoken sentance; one would say:

"This coffee machine is The Bollocks mate" = A very happy London geeza who is well pleased with his new coffee machine and now simply cant wait to brew up and blaze one !

Alternatively, if one were to say :

"This coffee machine is Bollocks mate" = The situation would be of complete contrast to the above... no A'dam style coffee, no atmosphere... Fuck it, lets get watsed.

Either way it's all good.

PS: Geeza = I have my own definition... what's yours?

I'm sure you can get it in the U.K.
The company even has a U.K. website :
http://www.chocomel.co.uk

Coffeeshops, cafe's etc. sell it over here frothed/warmed up with a big fat shot of squirty cream on top!!!
How do you feel now Rezin_8_ed?
LOL

Way out...a .co.uk website...pffffffffff

Shame you rarely see it in any shops. I will keep more of an eye out now tho!! Cheers Lo!

Nevermind the bollocks, what is chocomel exactly? Never heard of the stuff. I was assuming it was a British way of saying chocolate milk, or hot chocolate. Either one. But now... I'm stoned and confused.

Edit: Oh, it's the European Yoo-Hoo. Nevermind then.
