Francis Francis X1 Dad really wants one of them.

And Gaggia portafilter wish mine was a pro then I'd be able to use the tamping stand I bought. Best thing about the Gaggia's is the professional portafilter.

If you figure it out let me know, I feel the need to keep this thread real by posting a picture of my Russell Hobbs kettle and jar of Nescafe

Marc what have you used to get a mug full there?

Just got the Pixie through yesterday and I noticed the Lungo is 150ml.. Do you just do a lungo and add more water afterwards?

You went for the Pixie! I like them. You can get a carry case for them too which is cool.

My dad likes a full mug so I usually do a double lungo shot but run a lungo shot of hot water in first.

I found the easiest way with the iPhone is to upload them to twitter and copy the link

Yeah went for the pixie in titanium. £125 off amazon so not too bad. Love the design tbh! So tiny and compact.

Double lungo shot could work. It's for my mum aswell.. She likes just a good mug of black coffee and my fancy new machine doesn't do it apparently.. Just hope she doesn't want it often! 2 pods a time could get expensive..

I've got the taller version of them. The big one doesn't hold enough for me, that one is about a mouthful. Look good though.

Desperate Dan one is a man's mug, I've just realised I've got no normal sized mug for comparison so they could all be thimbles.

Yeah I got made a mug of weak Nescafe instant the other day too.. Once you get introduced to decent coffee anything less is horrible.

Can't drink instant. Someone gave me instant at an appointment the other day and I nearly spat it across the table.
