Martyn's (y not i) in Muswell Hill is good, plus if you live in North London a nice ride up the hill to fetch their coffee is a nice activity. Happily buy their pre-ground as they will ask you what it's for and grind it in front of you and it's always done right in my experience.
Interesting to see all these Gaggia's - I can see why, they look nice and seem to do the job, but has anyone else found they break a lot? Other half's Dad went through about six before buying a Krups, so I did the same, they just keep going. I'd like something which froths better though. Any recommendations for good affordable electric espresso machines out of interest? Which don't break?
Anyone buying descaler which is sold as such, don't bother, waste of money, just get citric acid (white powder) from a Turkish shop for a quid, they have always have it in the herb/spices section for some reason.
