ESPRESSO!

Moment of weakness today & forked out a small fortune on this shiny new coffee maker - then to rub it in - splashed out on a packet of "Il Perfetto Espresso", Italy's favourite most expensive coffee!

Haven't tried "Il Perfetto" yet - the instruction manual warns that "you need to make 4/5 cups of coffee before it starts to give a satisfactory result". They were so right!

We'll see tomorrow morning...
