It’s just brilliant !! I googled it it’s £350 on sale at moment (normally £450!) I really do intend on taking them some flowers and perhaps some coffee beans round as a thank you !! It’s de longhi I still make my big coffee press jug of morning but have the machine the rest of the day

Not worth me getting a coffee machine myself as I only have a coffee when at work and don’t tend to drink coffee at the weekend. Anyone in London should check out “Algerian Coffee Stores” on Old Compton Street, an amazing experience!

Launched in 2011 at £55 and has been around £37 for most of its history. For something fancier there are mini-ones (5-cup) with stand and burner from £32 amazon.co.uk ... or you could by an actual Cona for £218.

Dvorak May 2021 8:44pm, 1 May 2021 22,344 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak My father has one. A genuine Cona. About 55 years old. Coffee is good, and its an entertainment to watch. It is used quite sparingly. His is, and always has been, used on an ordinary gas stove. Did you watch the wee video? It shows it used on a halogen hob.
