Has anyone ever used those portable expresso pumps before?

[Bricktop]

But you rent.

[Frood]

No

[Frood]

Would you consider an expresso pump like that, Herman?

But, but. Hot coffee is not possible ... unless there is something I'm missing here

Hot water from a thermos, a hot water service, or by boiling it on a small stove. I have a small backpackers stove and can in the vehicle so there's that option.

[Bricktop]

No

Oh, you board then?

[Frood]

No, I won't be allowing you to derail this topic either.

In Australian one horse towns it's often lucky to be able to find a bakery or milk bar that does barrista coffee.

Well, you'd know.



On the plus side, you can get a house for $50,000 with three acres of land.

Brother, make that at least 100 acres and that to me is  paradise.

You wouldn't find those houses and locations paradise at all and the land is basically useless if not tainted by something such as mining contamination, rising salts, et cetera.



Anything under 100k anywhere in Australia is generally worthless and or harmful to your health.

It's like that here too. You get unserviced non arable land for that price.

But Aaron, I am on topic.



We're discussing the virtues of a coffee machine...and how it is perhaps an attractive alternative for people who cannot buy a coffee from a cafe or bistro.



You know, poor people and people who live in remote, impoverished areas.

I pity your family.

[Bricktop]

Why?



They all live affluent and successful lives. How are yours doing out there in the donga?

[Odinson]

In here, everybody has a coffee maker..



You wake up and make coffee.

[Bricktop]

You have to be able to afford one, though.



Good ones are expensive.

Moccamasters are considered good..



They start at around 200e.





Of course you can go real fancy and buy a coffee machine that grinds the coffee beans, adds milk, sugar, cream, has bluetooth, wifi and makes all sorts of coffee and tea..





All I need is your regular cup of coffee black.

The label of the tea and coffee..



Thats where a man proves his worth.





I only drink true tea made by the child labourers of Ceylon... Brought to europe on a east indiaman.

We had one of those dual cup electronic makers years ago. European and temperamental. It wasn't worth the money for all the hassles. When it decided that it needed a cleaning cycle or some other programmed messing about, it would go on strike.



We got rid of it with extreme malice.

My husband's favourite coffee brands are Nabob and Edward's espresso.
