  1. i went with the duchess for 2190 reduced from 8890.

     

    apart from my partner 'not' throwing away the pretty pointless steam wand shroud it has worked without flaw for a full week and a half.

     

    smashes the quality of the moka pot but seems to get much less out of the same amount of beans.

     

    ie i got a full cup of strong coffee, now i get a half cup of strong thicker creamier coffee.

     

    i see in the flow when the grinds are spent... easy to keep going and dilute the brew but why bother..

     

     

  2. i cant get my head around the love for french press coffee, it is always weak/thin no matter how much coffee is used. not 'bad' per se, but super basic.  (6/10)

     

    i have a stovetop moka pot that makes basic espresso, but no crema and thinnish body. (7/10)

     

    nespresso machines make awesome coffee but the pod price is just insane. (9/10)

     

    im looking at the duchess/minimex machines thinking this is about as cheap as you can find for 'proper' thick creamy espresso...  (8/10 )

     

    the 60-100k baht machines are nice but im not rich/stupid enough to even consider one of those. (10/10)

    An Australian driving instructor. Thai driving instructors should go back to their tractors.

     

    All Thai 'Instructors' do as bad a job as possible so nobody can know how to replace them.

    Out of 100 monks, my guess would be:

    1 good, real monk

    9 bad people

    90 not good not bad, but not real monks, not even real buddhists

     

    What would be your guess?

     

    out of 100

     

    3 sincere

     

    the rest nothing more than charlatans and/or criminals
