    Perhaps the corset was too tight, M_G? :confused:

    Phil - that is the best 'Cappuccino' that I have seen outside of Italy. :T :T

    I hate those huge mugs of 'frothy coffee' that you get fron 'Costa' at a greatly exaggerated price.

    The average price for a Cappuccino in Italy is €1.25 - I was charged £3.25 on the motorway last week. :mad: :mad:

    So well done on the coffee - I can't make the same observation as M_G, though. :rolleyes:

    I have a two station professional 'Gaggia' - I bought it to use at an exhibition (logical to offer Italian Coffee as I sold Italian machinery) and, as it was considered 'essential', did not need to be declared on my bankruptcy.
    I buy 'Illy' pods for convenience, although sometimes I do grind the beans myself. We also have a 'family' of 'MOKA Macchinetti' (From 2 - 6 cups) and always use fresh ground beans when using these
    If only the Uk was educated in the 'art' of coffee.

    Instead, we have this: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :eek: :eek:
