Cool

Thinking of getting a coffer machine - can anyone recommend a machine that makes a decent Cappuccino? I'm talking about the proper italian style, not the awful, 1 litre milky things Starbucks serve up.

And whilst I'm talking of a*sey kitchen gadgets, are bread makers worth bothering with and anyone recommend a good one?

Cheers

Thanks guys. I think I'm a bit of a sucker for the good looks of the Gaggia machines

Where's the best place to get one? That beststuff link was helpful - cheers Steve.

The Dualit 889 won best coffee machine in a recent Which magazine review (with professional coffee tasters IIRC). I found John Lewis the cheapest and they had them in stock

Professional coffee tasters? Can you imagine the conversation on getting home...

The number for Gaggia is 01422 339295. They do have a web site, although I'm not sure if you can buy from it.
