Because that is what they have asked for. I would get them a grind machine, but think they are all really expensive.

OH has a Von Shef espresso machine, been going a few years and is way cheaper to run, you can get ground coffee machines that you can use a pod with too, think you can use pods with this one but can't recall.

I dont know why they dont just use a filter machine. If it wasnt for my posh grind machine, I would use a filter machine on a morning. I use a tassimo during the day, but when I am loading up, it would be a filter machine all the way.

Because all the advertising is for pod machines.

OH won't use a filter, has to be through his espresso machine with frothed milk etc, though that is one cup a day, rest of the time he uses instant.

I did a rather long detour to Ts during the grumpy run, as you say, scanned everything in sight, nowt.

Also no toms and chick peas, got the chocolate thins and some rtc'd bread - what the heck is kibbled onion?

Found the toms in world food not with tinned toms which was a relief as there were still no toilet rolls of either type and the only tuna (oil) scanned at 4 quid - at the tills as the hand scanners were out of order.

How quick did the amex sdrug go? I thought I got on quite quickly but none on any of our cards.

I cant be harrised with espresso machines on a morning, used to have a Gaggia classic, but there is no way my mind can function one of those on a morning, and as for instant, yuk! Lol, love how he goes from one extreme (lovely coffee) to the other (instant hot dark water).
