moccamaster - pricey but very good.

anything decent in the 50 quid bracket?

Another gadget destined for the back of a cupboard by the middle of January.

DeLonghi, Bosch ?

Platini, we've had one of Dolce Gusto machines for 2 years, and found it very good. They use capsules though, rather than fresh ground coffee which might not be your cup of tea (so to speak).

You should be able to get one for about £50.

Nah, got to be real coffee.

I am coffee geek and can tell you you should get a Rancilio Silvia plus Rancilio Rocky grinder. The grinder is more important than the expresso maker - not many people know that.

I have a senseo machine, uses coffee bags like T bags, works really well, makes one mug, or 2 small cups, but cheap , and some lovely flavours you can try.

coffee is for poofs.

Easter - almost right. Coffee with milk, cream or especially sugar is most definitely a bandit brew. Black coffee is however for chest beating, mammoth slaying, non moisturising, quiche loathing real men!

oh, erm, yeah i knew that. drink gallons of the stuff!

HRH is spot on. Only way to drink it. Anything else is just a coffee-flavoured drink of some sort.

Coffe machine is the most important peice of equipment in the kitchen.

Good man! See you out on the plains shortly for some mammoth clubbing. Now wear is my loincloth? Facking state of this cave, I can't find anything.

a kettle and a mug.

The wife?

it's not even for me. I don't drink coffee lol
