Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that doesn’t justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
We brought a Delongi Magnifica about 6 years ago, use it multiple times a day.
Makes great coffee, can take beans and ground coffee (I have never used the grounds part, we only buy beans). Grinds the beans and produces coffee from one button press…awesome.
I drink my coffee black, so if it tastes bad…I know. It does do the milk thing and others have used that function on my one.
I would buy another one if mine broke. Side note, I brought one for Mum about 4 years ago…partly so I could have good coffee at her place.
Range of machines now…the model I have is not there, closest one is the Magnifica S, with the rise of enshitification I worry that they have somehow made this great machine worse…
We got ours on sale for $500, 6 years ago, the Magnifica S is about $800 normal price now, PriceSpy hasn’t had it below this for at least 18 months.
Woah, $1,300! It looks great but I don’t think I’ll spend that for a first dip into coffee machines!
$800 at Farmers, but still a bit expensive.
I would get another one…
Yeah, not really entry level. Plus it looks pretty bug, the other one looks slimmer in terms of bench real estate.
Maybe one day when I win lotto!
