Espresso

[GhostOfDixie]

Looking for an Espresso machine, a good one, but one looks like an old style one.

This is a graphical representation of what I want.

Now I know its only a drawing, but the 50's type style is what I am after.

Anyone seen anything on their Internet travels?

Searching "retro espresso machine" should give you what you are looking for (although the prices might be a little staggering)...

e.g.

Now your talking.

Ah, just seen the price.

 

[McBain]

150 bucks on a home machine, unless your rolling in it.

Or just find a good coffee shop.

you'll be needing a grinder

this model is apparently useful if tackling a tough bean.

Ghost, what you actually want is a macchinetta

Amazon.com: Bialetti Moka Express 6-Cup Stovetop Percolator: Home & Garden

And if you want a cappuccino then you want one of these for the milk:

was gonna post exactly the same and had hold of my 3 cup one earlier, they always seem to corrode inside though so i keep not using it for the 1st time cos i know that once i do then it'll go manky due to the rough finish inside the base, i'll never get it clean, even though only water goes in the bottom. i would like a stainless one but much expensive.

could always go greek

£4.95 on ebay

Greek coffee = mud.

You know this.

The key is to not use a detergent when washing it. A simple warm water rinse is all it needs. And if you store it for a long time, just make a pot and discard it. Then you are good to go.

Remember, NO DISHWASHER or WASHING-UP LIQUID!!! That is the source of discolouration/corrosion.
