I don't mind a nice cuppa cawfee but the noise of the blardy things grinding the beans is obscene. Ya stroll into the kitchen, all peace and goodwill to man after a bit o' "morning glory", and next thing ya know it sounds like someone has started a lawnmower in the kitchen and you're ready to go all US Postal on someone. So nah, a nice quiet cup of instant is fine by me.
No silly!
You can't have a coffee machine like that if you also have children in the house. Imagine if one got into the beans!I recall Sully ones poppa asking me via text whether he drank coffee. To which I replied "if you want to give him coffee while you have him I am more than happy but please set up the video camera!"

LOLs. My little buggers eat Cafe La Farre Primo B beans like lollies until they're caught.
And Trudes. Sorry babe - there's only one Home espresso machine. Sigh... one day.

And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

yup.
to make one you can get yourself some Chai, and use the Chai shot just like a single shot for your latte, pour steamed milk into a glass (or cup) and then poor the shot in slowly, turning the glass as you go, to make pretty swirls on the top of the milk. as you get better at it, you can actually spin the glass on the bench top.

P.S enjoy the new machine, I hope it's a good one, the not so good ones loose their appeal real quick, and become too bothersome to us.
My cheapo one got used for the first month, and then sat unused gathering dust till someone knocked it off the bench. now I'm not allowed to buy a good one, cause "You won't use it".

Indian shops sell chai tea bags cheaply. Brew the tea and brown sugar in a saucepan, add frothed milk from machine, blend 50/50 and serve hot.
Try adding sugar to the milk jug and caramelizing it when you froth the milk.
I prefer raw dark brown sugars, they have good levels of vitamins and minerals.

Long glass half full of ice, 2 fingers of REAL maple syrup, top up with milk, almost, pour a double shot on top....
Use half milk, half cream = Late Breve, great after dinner with a baileys.
Steam hot chocolate with a couple of lumps of cadburys dark chocolate peppermint in it for a minty mocha.
Put a couple of split vanilla pods in your coffee sugar...
Damn, giving away all my secrets.....
For good, firm cappucino froth steam your milk before you esspress the coffee, so it separates properly. Great for fluffys with grated choclate.
Om nom nom nom!! Thanks for the tips and hints fellas!! I have some vanilla beans in the cupboard and was thinking of giving the hot milk a wee stir with one to see if it gives it a slight flavour.....Can't wait for my morning latte tomorrow now!
