    My Gaggia is dead! Is there a shop in town who sells *real* espresso machines for a reasonable price (forget Brown Thomas - just pureley overpriced and rip off!)?. So far I found just Harvey Normans with a small selection of machines.

    I bought my coffee machine ( kenwood cafe retro )last year in bt ( 249€ ) and Im really happy with it. They don't have it anymore but you can get it there and its way cheaper.

    Do, it's the best expresso maker Ive ever own, plus it's also extremely stylish. Mine is a creamy ish color, very nice. I can't start a day without a good old expresso:D

    There is an English language forum, where you can discuss the spelling of words to your heart's content, this is not it.

    Mea culpa on the "its" above.

    I just wanted to point out a common mis-spelling of the word espresso. It's an Italian word and the Italian language does not use the letter x.

    What is the difference between espresso and lets say regular ground coffee you buy, like some of the Douwe Egbert's or the Bewley's prepack?

    Could you makes these type of coffees in an 'espresso' machine?
