Only just seen this, surely it wouldn't be that difficult to make, for far less than £9000? Just buy a scrap engine and a cheap coffee machine, and cannibalise the pair of them to simply change where the coffee is coming out. I'm sure you could hide a lot of the surplus coffee machine in/under the engine too.

If anybody actually saw that, and bought one... they need to face a public lashing. Looks like something Delboy would be peddling.

It would be nice to be rich enough to spend £9k on a coffee machine and not care!

the big question is, does it make good coffee?

 

[SgtBhaji]

I somehow doubt that it passes water over coffee grounds any better than your average tefal.

Depends if you like V8 or V12 flavours...

ball-polished for 18 hours. Crikey

 

[SgtBhaji]

18 hours of ball polishing almost justifies the price-tag.

well I don't know about that, but when it comes to coffee makers it really does pay to get a sturdily built high pressure one. I'll take the V12

Hey Bhaji, did you get the PM to start?
Just reminding you incase you forget!

But we've been here for 3 years now already? It just seems like last year I was trolling on the BBC forums!

 

[SgtBhaji]

Yeah... I got it, thanks Fred. Pretty sure I'm last again though. lol.
