Yes, one of those. It wasn’t cheap. I’d hoped it would be a final stop but taking approx 9-10 min per coffee means it’s not feasible when a bunch of people turn up on gravel bikes etc etc.

The machine I bought is a stop gap and will go once my Argos arrives. That was always the plan but they’re about 12months behind schedule. The upside is I ordered when they were cheap.

Is that your photo? If so, how do you like the zerno? I've been in their order queue for a while but keep giving up my spot as the timing just keep not working out.

I stole the image from Argos' site - the Zernos look awesome but more than I am willing to spend. I have an Option-O P64 I picked up second hand with the HU burrset. It's been awesome, I have no desire to change it (unless I win the lottery, in which case I'd be getting a Kafatek).

Wooosh (as he sits at work drinking crappy instant and thinks the office really needs an Aeropress at the very least)

I have to say, I really try to curb my coffee intake though.....sometimes I just drink too much. Trying to switch to tea instead, some Mate, Darjeeling, Roiboos or Chai.

I know how you feel...  I try and do a Roiboos in the evening and a pint of water with each coffee I have during the day.

Coffee will keep me awake at night so no more than 3 espresso a day and no coffee after 2pm

Tea also has caffeine so herb tea at night

Trying to just have two mugs and maybe a caffee latte before noon these days, other than that, water and tea. I no longer want to feel all jittery and fired up. Not good after a certain age....

I do that if I don't ride my bike daily.

People bragging about how healthy they are also sets me off.

I've just got an AeroPress for the office.  Any tips on how to get the best out of it?
