The beans, starbucks are ok, but i get mine from Lebanese roastery, good cup of coffee
Get classy - buy an antique Gaggia, complete with an old-fashioned pressure gauge. None of this new-fangled bilqool baqwas electronics stuff that takes the fun out of making coffee....

I couldn't possibly know how classy or otherwise you are; you seem jolly nice so far, if a little cheap on the coffee front.

More than I can afford, sadly. My aspirations exceed my assets.

Commander is an experienced engineer, a bit of copper tube and a brazing torch is all he would ever need...

I can't stand tea, the smell alone makes me feel sick.

I've got a Tassimo thingy at home in the UK. Not bad for a quick Americano, but making cappucinos with UHT milk pods is just wrong.
