Ive been wanting a coffee machine forever. Avid lover of the double shot latte and usually try and grab one when im out and about as a treat for myself, especially if Im at a cafe for breaky and order eggs benedict (my favourite of all eggs) mmmmmmmm.

So today I decided to treat myself and get a coffee machine. Ended up buying the Breville Cafe Modena. Got it for $169 at Kmart even though it retails for $189

I now have to get myself some nice clear glasses with handles (only cause I really prefer a handle to hold them) cause all the cups I have don't fit under the filter or are opaque and can't see what Im doing

The other thing is finding different flavours to try out. So if you have some fav's tell us about them so I can try em out too

be interesting to see your thoughts when u test it out fully faz
never really looked into buying a machine for myself always seems easier to buy one takeaway somewhere

Coca-cola is a good flavour. Oh wait, its not a soft drink machine? I don't drink coffee or tea, can't stand them. In fact I don't even drink alcohol! *gasp shock horror*

I've always wanted a coffee machine. The stuff you make with them tastes awesome. I've stopped having it recently mind you because of an illness I have, the caffeine makes my tummy feel yucky.

But still sounds great! Is it one of the ones where you can make all of the different types of coffee's and make em frothy etc?

Looks a good enough machine to set up professionally!

I reckon if you really like coffee, you will be able to experiment with different brews and different types - hopefully it will make cappucino (my favourite) - in all sorts of combinations. Great fun, as well as useful.

Sound a good price to me; it would be about 30% more expensive here, I believe.

yeh jonny I can make cappucino's with it, Fazchick loves them too. Yesterday I bought some vanilla coffe which is dam yummy and also a chocolate macadamia one as well, yet to try this one but it sounds and smells good.

Wow! Do I need a Degree in Coffee science to undertand it?
Its looks like the Rolls Royce of coffee machines You know how they say "does it make Coffee" when something can do almost everything, I can't say that here seeing as it is a coffee machine..
are you using it to access the forums? *joking*
also looks more impressive than the one at work
