Well, it arrived today nearly giving our post lady a hernia. When unboxing, I could see everything was either in its plastic bag packaging taped up, or the boxes still sealed. The chap who was given it as a gift and sold it, just didn’t want it full stop, so had never even bothered to open it. Both the coffee machine and grinder haven’t even seen or smelt a bean, let alone touched one.
I know it’s not many people’s first or even last choice, but as I’ve said before, for me it is a major step up from my very old Gaggia. Plus, at the price being offered and now I’ve sold the Gaggia, it was a steal.
With the tweakability this machine offeres, maybe now I will be able to give my taste buds a reprieve and get to appreciate the nuances offered by some great coffee beans out there.
