Was in Durham market yesterday, and spotted the coffee shop.
Jesus, its expensive stuff! Cheapest was £4/100g. I buy from online roasters like Union/Hasbean for about £3.50/100g for small bags and about £32/kg and that's free delivery
And that £4 was the cheapest stuff! Maybe I'm wrong, but I was expecting it to be cheaper than the big online places on a market stall?
Hope its nice when I try it!
£195 for a Sage Bambino - great first "real" espresso machine for anyone who wants one
Its what I have, and feel absolutely no need to upgrade.

I've got a Swan espresso machine, are the Sage ones that much different/better?

The Durham marketplace one? He said something about be low on stocks and mentioned the name of a company who'd be bringing more soon - no idea who it was though, so can't really comment.
Did sell bags of other roaster's stuff as well, those prices were high too, 200g bags for over a tenner iirc.
I don't have a clue about Swan espresso machines, sorry. The Sage* Bambino is very good and realistically the only "true" espresso machine you can get for £200
*Called Sage in the UK, Breville around the world. Breville in the UK is a totally different thing, so don't get confused.

What I was saying though, is that he's charging substantially more than pretty much all the "craft" online places that sell very high quality stuff.
It's a market stall where quality isn't exactly guaranteed.

Just treat myself to a new Brevile last night-the Delonghi we'd had for 6 years was well past its best.

Someone just took it, only advertised it yesterday, and its gone for £450.Seen that.
£200 ill take it
Could have held out for another ton I think, but tbh the house is a tip after-xmas, and I want loads of stuff gone.
£450 for nowt though, its a canny deal.
Been on lidls string strength espresso bean over the Xmas period. Absolutely lovely. Been using my spiky thing more too and coffee seems much better.
Popped in hive this week. Spot on. Most bait can be made vegan too which pleased the current wife.
Are these barista oat milks any cop? I’ve the yellow minor figures stuff but seems watery.
Had some Tynemouth coffee, OCC, regular joes and mister woods coffee today. Been a canny day round Tynemouth.

Looks lovely mate. I'd have been down in the sun though
Eyeing up a Bambino Plus on Facebook marketplace. Only £100. Can clean it up, descale and backflush, strip and should be like new . Pretty small upgrade to my non-plus bambino, but quite like the idea of the 3 way valve, plus its basically impossible to flush-clean the thing without one.
Was flooded over that side. Balls to getting me feet wet.Looks lovely mate. I'd have been down in the sun though

Aye, don't want the BBE as I have a better grinder. The espresso side is about the same, give or take.Was flooded over that side. Balls to getting me feet wet.

Realistically, if this Baminbo Plus is all good, I could probably sell mine for the same money...
