    I bought my chap a bean-to-cup coffee maker and he can't be bothered with any of it when the option is there to just put a capsule in another machine and switch it on. I'm sure some people would love it but for most coffee drinkers a Keurig/Nespresso is probably the easier route. It was an absolute fortune too.

    But isn't the idea that it's fully automated and you just press the button? Surely if it is less bother than some other machine it isn't serving is purpose? I would be tempted to get one but not if there is some unknown amount of hassle waiting for me


    I wasted a few 100 quid on an ebike conversion kit from Chinky land that I got very little use out of. Few months after getting it I changed job and it was of little use to me. The worst was just before I changed job I spent another 400 quids on posh LiFePo4 batteries for it that have been almost unused since.

    .

    I suspect that it's not actually a bean to cup machine but rather an espresso machine. Maybe.
    Or, perhaps, it takes longer to heat up or something.

    I bought a gimp mask for a fancy dress party that was cancelled so I never got a chance to wear it. Absolute waste of €30. Pure PVC it was as well.

    will add link to donedeal shortly.

    Bought (another) bass guitar 6 months ago. Decided to sand it down to natural wood. Took it all apart. Sanded it for a couple of hours and got a pain in my arse with it. It's still in various parts, part-sanded, and looks like staying that way for the foreseeable.
