    I also agree on the coffee. We have a Dolce Gusto machine and at 20p a cup it isn't cheap but there is no way I would change back to instant.
    We have a DG machine too. I admit I drink instant in the mornings when quantity is wayyyyy more important than quality, the rate I pour it down my neck in the first hour I'm awake, I don't think I even taste it! I do like a macchiato in the afternoon though, 'bout 2.55 is the perfect time before collecting the children!
    Mind you it costs a lot more in a coffee shop. ;)
    I'm still sticking to my grinder and cafetiere, but I do get tempted from time to time.
    Then I look at the prices and decide I can't justify it.

    Trying to work through the shelves and filing cabinet and apply the 'would I pack it' rule. I seem to have saved a lot of 'mementos' aka 'bits of rubbish' from when I was working and trying to convince myself that most of it belongs to another time and another person.

    I bought DH a grinder and a new percolator for christmas, and a stove top espresso maker and we've got a cafetiere. We rather like coffee too :rotfl:. I'm currently being tempted by a beautiful red tassimo machine on Amazon. It's calling my name, but I really can't justify any more coffee makers :(

    Have dusted and de-webbed sitting room :D
