We keep going back to instant

Philistine  noooo:

Well, whatever, nevermind

I'm with Steve on this one, instant when I can be bothered. Decaf under doctor's orders.

I can't get into decaff but Mrs K will only drink it (or herbal tea).  I have one mug of strong coffee in the morning and then I mainly drink ultra decaff (aka water) now unless we're going out. 
Well, whatever, nevermind

4 minutes? Bloody amateur, you need to use shots of at least 7 day cold filtered coffee for the proper effect.  Thumbs:

Oi Grumpy!

My friend is in the market for a new coffee machine and has her eyes set on a RANCILIO SILVIA PROShocked:

What do you think...?

Haven't heard of the brand before but it seems pricey. The biggest red flag I have with the offer is that it doesn't tell you what the pressure is, only that it can't be adjusted. Anything less than 9 bar pressure is a waste of coffee.

If you're dealing with > 9bar pressure I'd want to deal with an established brand with no record of explosions
