That's right, but there's lots more to my life, my world and my ambitions than achieving an encyclopaedic knowledge of espresso machine manufacturers
For cheapskate quality coffee making: as a student we used to make Turkish coffee in a saucepan.
Sometimes in London with my husband we go to a Lebanese restaurant where they make this wonderful coffee flavoured with cardomon. I always mean to ask for details and I always forget. Is anyone familiar with the details and necessary incantations & voodoo dances?
