    Thinking about getting DSS1 a coffee maker for his xmas. I have found one in Argos reduced to £65 plus I also get a £5 voucher for spending over £50.

    A filter coffee maker, or an espresso maker? We have both, but the filter coffee maker is used far more heavily.

    Its an expresso maker - he's not a big coffee drinker but I know he likes a good one every now and again especially as he entertains a lot. Personally we use our cafetiere all at least 4 times a day :eek:

    You work from home tho? I'm sure I have at least 4 coffees a day, unfortunately most of them are nasty instant ones at work.

    .... and relax.

    All housework done, food sorted for the weekend and a rare kids free (ish) weekend. Off to mouch (hmm not sure how to spell that) round some charity shops and then I think I will settle down with a good book :)

    Enjoy

    Now, just having done a coffee machine mystery shop I'm an expert all of a sudden :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
