Not at all, it was only because they routinely check when you are over 55 that they discovered it

Who was it whose coffee machine had gone up the spout?
Oops!
Just read about someone with a Miele machine that kept saying "Expel Air" so in the end they contacted Miele themselves who then sent them some special cleaning stuff which took two hours to use, and then still said "expel air" but they did what the manual said and now it is running fine.
Apparently they had to get rid of fat!!
Who knew?
Maybe of some use!

The silly dick might just as well have said "If you can.....emigrate!" and it was pointed out that this rich git won't have too many problems.
Sigh!

We have to do a cleaning cycle every couple of months, First time I was surprised at the "fat" on top of the water during the cycle.

Its only to do with machines that grind the beans I think

Ah! Never knew that!
Well I wouldn't since we don't have a machine with that built in!
On them, can you vary the time and the intensity of the grind? cos I would deffo want to do that.

Guess what W wants as part of her burpday pressies?
Teatowels with the Coronation on 'em!

She did quote me the price of silk scarves of the same ilk.

You can vary the amount of coffee used so the strength of coffee, and the amount of water added, which is the same thing really.
No time adjustment, it squirts it through at the same rate.
It of course depends on the type of beans you use so there are so many variables possible.

There is a school of thought, and academics, with nothing flipping better to do, have tested it, that if you use fewer beans and grind them for less time you get a better taste.
We have tried it and it tends to be true.
Our grinder over here takes into account the number of cups you are making and how coarse a grind you want, so you switch it on and watch the "traffic lights" to get the grind you want.
All good fun!
But as you say, you need to start with decent coffee.
Can't get it in the UK, just as you can't get decent tea over here, so we import both in both directions.

They are simply called "rousses" which just means reddish feathered. They are very friendly and good layers.
I''ll Google the name to see if it has other meanings .
Well apparently they are a cross breed of which there are 1000s of varieties.
Mixtures of loads of crossbreedings of Cornish, Rhode Isalnd Red, Leghorn, New Hampshire and Plymouth.
We have had them now for years and see no reason to change them.
What do you have?
