It's a borough of London. AFAIK it used to be a poor shithole, and is gentrified like mad now.

Sounds like you're living the dream!

Yeah I was always quite happy with our Bialetti and milk frother. Then my mate gave me the Gaggia, and we both got hooked, it was fun figuring out how to make good espresso with it. But there was a reason my friend just gave it away, it's kinda broken, leaky, doesn't seem to hold pressure, etc...

Yeah it's not for everyone's morning routine. But I enjoy faffing about a bit, and once you get in the rhythm of things, it doesn't take more than a few minutes to get a good latte. And I just enjoy figuring out the best grind size, how to prepare the whole situation, trying different ways of...

Happy new espresso machine day! We had an old Gaggia a mate gave us for a long time, but it was a leaky mess, so that got demoted to being in my studio. Now we've got a brand new Rancilio Silvia at home! Love the coffee it makes and the steamer is miles better.

I broke a rib, but just continued rolling with it. Wasn't super pleasant, but snowboarding with it was fine. CoGF managed to dislocate her elbow during a snowboarding trip, but that was a bit bigger of an ordeal than popping it back :o

I have that. I spent way too many years of my life wondering why the hell people kept eating shite that tastes like soap :o

Sesqui is something like "and a half", pedal comes from pes, which is foot. So literally it would be something along the lines of "a foot and a half-like".

I knew the latin literal translation, which is in no way helpful to understand the meaning :o

Because, as I said before, 1.6bln was not paid for just an amp company. "The Marshall Group" is basically a Swedish headphone/bluetooth speaker company that bought Marshall amps and renamed itself. Amplifiers are just a tiny fraction of their business...
