I could do with an espresso maker but haven't got enough space left in the kitchen for it!

These

I am guessing either the Gaggia coffee machine ABS Baby which is almost the same rrp price as the Classic. I saw it in HoF at lunch, it has an redesigned easier access water tank but fiddly electronic buttons like you get on a monitr. I much prefer the "Switch" on the Classic personally.

The Baby is a lame replacement in my opinion. Made of plastic, nasty switch setup, not good

Went to my local HoF today and bought a second one. This one will stay at work for now.

At last - decent coffee at work.
